1. We don’t make the vaccine here in any useful numbers.
2. It is well documented by medical staff that we only have enough people to administer the vaccine at the current rate.
You are a glass half empty sort of guy though!It isnt about that for me. It's about us fucking with the dosing routines, against Pfizer's advice, rushing to try and vaccinate a whole country while a new strain is absolutely rife everywhere with very little in place to try and stop it. I get a very horrible sinking feeling we're going to create the perfect conditions for a vaccine escaping variant, and that feeling is based on countless reputable experts warning the same. Fucking hell I hope they're wrong.
Ignore him. He’s always posting negative shitePoint 1. Astra Zeneca currently have four million doses in vials with fifteen million doses awaiting decanting. They have reiterated that by mid January they will be producing a minimum of two million doses a week. Pfizer have also confirmed that more deliveries are in the pipeline.
Point 2. From Monday the Oxford vaccine will be being deivered by many times more locations than the Pfizer vaccine is now. There is a world of difference between delivery as one needs to be in a cold chain at minus 78C and the other at normal fridge temperature.
It is a gamble. And may pay off. We all must really hope it does or we are in a huge mess.You are a glass half empty sort of guy though!
Hopefully that won’t happen, I’m confident in the MHRA & JVCI making the right decisions.
True, if we had a large supply of it I’m sure we would be sticking to the original dosage times.It is a gamble. And may pay off. We all must really hope it does or we are in a huge mess.
But it is one I am pretty sure they would not be making if there were enough supplies coming in faster or they had not let this rapid spreading mutation get out of control.

In the week before Christmas some London boroughs were apparently testing at 25% positive thanks to how far the new strain had spread.
This is coming to your area soon unfortunately.
Whether they are aiming for herd immunity or it is just an accident of delay at this rate it might happen and even beat the vaccine towards it - with a terrible cost, of course.
Well the Civil Service is the structure of the UK government. The NHS is the same in managerial structure.That reads like the U.K. Government
Very, very few have had it multiple times and only a couple have had it worse the second time round.I thought Heard immunity was a myth in this case, since people have had it multiple times, that's a plan that would always be set to fail, id also like to see the correlation between people who had the first strain, compared to the new one ? id imagine that will be the devil in the detail
A different crew wouldn't make the slightest difference due to British government and NHS management structures.No, the question was whether a different crew could make a difference.
I've given you an example showing that.
Obviously I can't do that for the uk!
The rest of your post is gibberish to me I'm afraid.
There's hardly any reports of reinfection worldwide.I thought Heard immunity was a myth in this case, since people have had it multiple times, that's a plan that would always be set to fail, id also like to see the correlation between people who had the first strain, compared to the new one ? id imagine that will be the devil in the detail
Public Health England have been useless I agree. They responded as though this was a flu like threat and they’ve admitted this. Boris has admitted that the Government have been at fault too.Well the Civil Service is the structure of the UK government. The NHS is the same.
Top-down command and control structures. Totally useless for fighting a pandemic where distributed tactical decision making is required.
Is that advice not pretty much what primary schools in tier four,are doing anyway? (key workers kids, no full classes etc)Going to get very bitter
NEU just updated: Summing up: following the SAGE meeting 22/12, and other recently published scientific papers, all of which have been ignored by the Government, we believe that it would be unsafe for Primary staff to attend work on Monday 4 Jan for whole classes. Current RAs do not take into account the new COVID variant.We are recommending that members quote section 44 of the 1996 Employment Rights Act and tell their HTs that they won’t be attending the workplace on Monday to work with whole classes. They will be available to work at home, or attend the workplace on a rota for Key Worker or vulnerable pupils. The same applies in special schools, albeit there will be more pupils who are vulnerable. An email will be sent to all members with a section 44 template letter to use. Please communicate this to all members - some won’t open emails from the union on the last weekend of the holidays!
Health and care workers are in the next tranche for people over 75 but bellow 85.When it finally gets round to it, the Dutch government looks as if it’s going to start vaccinating Health Care Workers first, perhaps ahead of and more so than vulnerable older people. It needs to decrease absenteeism amongst HCWs to prevent the system collapsing in the coming weeks and perhaps has realised that key workers have far more contacts and are thus more likely to spread it.
