Some of the vaccinations stats Sturgeon has quoted were impossibly high given that a small minority of very elderly people would not have been fit for the vaccine (based on the experience in the rest of the U.K.). It might just be a case that her stats were based on people available to receive the vaccination but this doesn’t seem to have been spelt out.Not really a surprise is it. God forbid she is seen to not be overseeing an operation as efficient as what is going on in England and Wales. Always comes across as a fraud, this is the sort of thing I’d expect her to do.
Allegations that Sturgeon has cooked the vaccine books in terms of percentages of population vaccinated. I don’t have the full article but it might be an issue of interpretation.
Yeah, but funnily enough the pro Sturgeon people on here were lauding her and saying how great she was, and how fantastic she didn’t use the “offered” terminology that Boris was using.Some of the vaccinations stats Sturgeon has quoted were impossibly high given that a small minority of very elderly people would not have been fit for the vaccine (based on the experience in the rest of the U.K.).

I was thinking this lunchtime that her vaccination figures couldn’t be right and then this article comes along. I know the Scots have done great things on vaccinations with care home residents etc so why gild the lilley?Yeah, but funnily enough the pro Sturgeon people on here were lauding her and saying how great she was, and how fantastic she didn’t use the “offered” terminology that Boris was using.
Full. Of. Shit.
Point scoring in relation to independence, which shouldn’t be the priority in a pandemic.I was thinking this lunchtime that her vaccination figures couldn’t be right and then this article comes along.

It’s a sad state of affairs when those in their 20’s and 30’s are deemed less fit and healthy than those almost 70!!Thought I wasn't going to vaccine envy but it's now frustrating that my dad, who is 69 and takes medication typical for people at that age (for blood pressure and cholesterol), has not even had his invitation for a vaccine but I am regularly hearing of people in their 40s, with no underlying conditions and those who are overweight or have asthma who are in their 20s and 30s, have had the jab.
You should enquire why not.Thought I wasn't going to vaccine envy but it's now frustrating that my dad, who is 69 and takes medication typical for people at that age (for blood pressure and cholesterol), has not even had his invitation for a vaccine but I am regularly hearing of people in their 40s, with no underlying conditions and those who are overweight or have asthma who are in their 20s and 30s, have had the jab.

Sounds to me like he's been missed, if it was my dad I wouldn't be taking no for an answer, and if he's on medication his surgery will be on his prescriptions.I have been on at him to contact his doctor's surgery. "I'll give it till the end of the month". Lazy sod. I asked for the name of the surgery but he asked me not to bother.
The thing is and this is coming from me who can honestly say having no preference to Scotland having Independence or not.Fuck all to do with independence, only you are linking these. Ironically it's something which seems to be brought up more by Scottish unionists and people from outwith Scotland than the actual Scottish nationalist party themselves.
As for the subject in question, a Tory MSP sharing an article written in Tory rag filled with vague soundbites but nothing in the way of substance. Just the usual then...

During this pandemic it appears to me she has appeared to try and point score more than she really should.
Obviously I along with some others are seeing it from a different side so maybe you don't see what we do. I don't know and I'm not saying rose tinted specs, just maybe we see things differently but she has definatly done and said some things at a time like this that were to me a little snide in my book.
I also think it’s best we leave the political chat to that forum.Sorry mate, had deleted my post, thought I had got there in time lol. More because I really can't be doing with getting drawn into this stuff, I very rarely venture into that politic thread but for the odd occasion then tend to instantly regret it when I do. You're absolutely entitled to your opinion, mines is different but I'd guess that's just life...happy to agree to disagree.
Hey ho - continual political tit for tat about a deadly virus is just another reason to want this pandemic over sooner rather than later, here's hoping!
I agree. As the overall numbers of cases reduce there is presumably a bigger risk of reducing the rate of improvement through continued hospital infections.I know it’s a headline and there’s probably a wider story behind it but my first thought is “yeah, no shit”.
Haven’t they been at risk since this time
Last year?
