Why does everyone believe so called gloomy news from people who aren't qualified to write about the subject or from people who haven't done the proper research etc. Think it was the scientists who suggested that to have more people with some immunisation the UK should spread out the jabs to 12 weeks and everyone at the time said ' what a great idea, brilliant, genius etc. Now with little research those same people are blaming the government for making a crap decision.

There were certainly plenty on here who were saying before Christmas that they thought it was the way to go and that the government should adopt the policy of getting as many first jabs done as was possible.
 
Hartley-Brewer really doesn't like being called out for spreading lies and disinformation.



It's now "sinister" to point out that she and her go-to "sceptics" are misleading us.

There’s no reason why care homes can’t be done in conjunction with the other cohorts. A team of three people comprising of a doctor, a nurse and an administrator did all 2000 care home residents in over 50 care homes in just over a week in Newcastle.

There isn't, I agree.
We're not doing it for some reason. It's plain nuts.
 
Vaccination data for yesterday

Wales:

First doses 175 816 (13, 884 yesterday)

Second doses 370 (105 in the day)

Total 13, 989 doses yesterday (it was 10, 259 on Monday)


Scotland

309, 909 as of yesterday - which means 21, 449 were done yesterday. (It was 19, 773 on Monday)
 
Spoke with the Mrs last night and she is on board with the stay in England decision i have made for this year. Just heard of someone else with it today and has had to call an ambulance!

Far too close to home.

Nicola Sturgeon just claimed the reason England are now doing fewer daily new vaccinations is that they have belatedly decided to do what Scotland has done from day one. Treat care homes as a priority.

Scotland are now well over 90% covered. And so now outside care home daily vaccinations in Scotland will noticably accelerate whilst England's may fall.

England have - she says - now decided this is important to do too.

All the deaths yesterday in England out of hospital (many in care homes) show Scotland got this right and England did not. A very unusually high number of those England deaths were not in hospital creating that unexpectedly high total of 1610 when just half of them were in England hospitals.

Not going to get into the rights and wrongs of how things have been prioritised, frankly I am nowhere near qualified or educated enough to make that opinion. What IS reassuring and satisfactory is a clear explanation for an apparent slightly lower rollout per head of population. This makes sense, and answers any questions as to why it's the case.

Agreed her clarity is why I never miss her updates as regardless of politics they are data rich and clear and you do not have to second guess what any graphs mean as they are put up and taken down in haste whilst things are spun around them by doctors and politicians as if it is a scene from Fantasia.
