Aren't they using the better than nothing but not very good Chinese sinovac?

Ramming things up your nostrils isn't already part of your weekly schedule?? Takes all sorts

Chris Whitty made an interesting speech about how covid is something we have to get used to and people will have to learn to live with it like flu and that the level of acceptable risk is down to the population to decide, not him or SAGE. That's obviously true, makes me wonder whether Johnson is actually the one avoiding making that decision / having that debate

France and most of Europe will be open by August imo. They will have just finished lockdown and vaccinations will be much more prevalent. They already have 14% vaccinated and another c300,000 people per day

Sounds a bit bit controlling 🚳🚭🚯📵🚭⛔

Smarter and better designer than both evolution and God huh?. Whichever one it is you think you're better. Do you have no clue how up yourself you are?

Where is the racism or accusation of racism in that story?

I don't rate the article. I think it's fake outrage railing against fake outrage. Anyhow I've got a friend who lives in Echo Park and she hasn't got an nut allergy or tattoos - QED suckaaas. The corporate identity point I totally agree with though. You've got multinationals buying up independent brands that have a certain profile or loyalty base so that they can sell stuff to people who wouldn't come near them under the companies own name. How many people know 'ethical' Innocent Smoothies and Costa are both owned by Coca Cola or Pret a Manger are majority owned by Goldman Sachs?

I don't know but I guess this is where the dying with covid rather than dying from covid issue becomes more relevant. On a smaller number of deaths its going to have a bigger skew.

Apparently you think that's how the Police and Crown Prosecution Service works - The victim has to prove not only they were a victim but that the crime existed in the first place. Well done

It's the only way to success! https://www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-innovation-2021-2-covid-vaccine-pill-enters-clinical-trials/ https://iosbio.com/

Lol. You're like Weston, wrong every fucking time. It's a real skill. That's a covid treatment, not what we're talking about which is vaccination by pill rather injection.

I read that. It's a tiny company in a small lock up unit up the road from me. If the technology works a small number of people are going to get very very rich.

In principle, I guess. A lot of people with diabetes do it everyday. But for one shot a year its probably not worth the hassle / teaching people how to do it / inevitable mess ups and fake insurance claims.

F'sure whatever system you adopt will be imperfect and have some inconsistencies. If the first jab vaccination program will really be completed by July anyway maybe it doesn't matter so much. But if this is going to be an annual thing of new jabs for new variants there will definitely be tweaks to the UK system to include people like police, teachers, bus and taxi drivers.

Fuckwit State Examples Of the 42 states, the District of Columbia (D.C.), Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that have adopted guidance on who is considered an “essential worker,” the general elements included in the definition of “transportation and logistics” include airlines, railroads, taxis, private transportation providers and public and private mail and shipping services. https://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/covid-19-essential-workers-in-the-states.aspx

I'd love to stick around and listen to you lecture more people on health policy, something you know absolutely zero about - but I have to go and conduct job interviews of candidates for a rabies vaccination programme in India and Malawi - funded by Bill and & Melinda Gates. Toodle pip.

Yep you failed to understand the one too. Do yourself a favour - go back to shaving your head and taking your all natural non processed protein powder. It's all you can cope with.

Amazed not angry. A going to seed IT salesman and a pub manager trying to take the piss out of someone because he can read and they cant. It's comical, laughing at you not with you.

You two are are a pair of dense fuckers. It's literally there in black and white in the text you quoted. Frontline workers get a higher priority than most age groups - ie people below age 74. Can you really not process written information or are you so excited to be forum warriors that you blow your load without even thinking? On December 1, ACIP recommended that 1) health care personnel§ and 2) residents of long-term care facilities¶ be offered COVID-19 vaccination first, in Phase 1a of the vaccination program (2). On December 20, 2020, ACIP recommended that in Phase 1b, vaccine should be offered to persons aged ≥75 years and frontline essential workers (non–health care workers),

Err. Maybe because vaccinating the 50 and over group has been the Government priority since the outset with the rest of the population "to be determined". Yeah maybe its that, Government policy.

I agree mostly. The first priority, rightly, was simply to get highly vulnerable people vaccinated as quickly as possible. But once you get into the below 50 and healthy group other factors besides how likely you are to die come into play. Adding a group of security guards checking IDs to an already existing operation wouldn't slow things down.

You upload a photo of your work ID onto the booking website or you have a system of checking work ID at vaccination centres.

Can't help thinking it was political rather than epidemiological. If you vaccinate teachers it cuts across the message that schools are safe to open - even if half the kids there are the offspring of people in high risk professions! Should have done the police too tbf

You'd think that was so obvious it wouldn't need stating. Vaccinating healthcare professionals and carers should have been another clue. Apparently not......
