[Blue and still suffering]

As someone else has pointed out this isn't a pissing against a wall contest. We should be grateful that vaccination rates are increasing across all countries.

couldn't agree more, unfortunately it was reported as one a few months back.

Little wonder what with the threats of vaccine blockades and a Irish border closure. It's good to see we're all pulling in the same direction now, though.

Interestingly, since my 2nd vaccination i have acquired Covid Tongue and bad acne just like I did in April/May/June last year while recovering from Covid-19

Possibly not.
Freight flight are still taking place, as are repatriation flight and specialist person transfers.
People have to enter quarantine hotels if they arrive in the UK.

You're suggesting the UK will leap ahead again? It seems highly unlikely. The EU will cease being constrained by vaccine supply in that time.

Yes the UK rate is going to accelerate by 15% to 30% over the next few weeks. There was a discussion on Sky news about it earlier in the week.

It'll have to match what we were doing 12 weeks previous.

The EU vaccination programme is around 6 weeks behind the UK, and catching up. At the same time they are exporting half of what they make.

This is hardly a disaster - which is the point I was making. You'll note I've repeatedly said that the UK has done very well.

Utter tosh - the vaccination rate is lower than the UK on average across the EU. Only Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary are ahead and it would take 9 weeks to catch up to our current level of vaccination.
They will only catch us up when we have completed our roll out.
I'm glad they've sorted their shit out but they messed up big style.

Again, that's actually not what I wrote.

That's twice in 30 minutes you've misrepresented me.

Really, what did you mean then?

second doses do little to prevent general transmission, but first doses make a massive difference.
