Quote Queen Ursula VDL appears be have made a laughing stock of herself. Critizing the UK for insufficient testing of the Oxford/Zeneca vac, then demanding that the EU isnt getting enough of it. If ever we should find ourselves with a surplus, I reckon we should help out the Commonwealth firstOxford University designed the vaccine. AstraZeneca who are responsible for manufacture and testing, is a Swedish/UK company. A large part of the testing was carried out in Brazil and South Africa. Much of the Commonwealth, such as Australia and New Zealand hasn't needed to start vaccination, as they properly closed their borders early, rather than leaving it until the last minute.

You're not allowed into New Zealand with mud on your shoes.
Reminds me of the joke about the police radioing in, having found a wife who had shot her husband for walking on her mopped floor. 'Have you arrested her?' says base. 'No, the floor's still wet'.
I see today in the news its starting to come out about the side effects that I have been telling you about for weeks. But they are playing them down- calling them "mild" and saying 1 in 10. That is not my mates experience or their workmates It was 60% of them having side effects and needing between 1 and 2 days off work then out of that 60% about half needed up to 7 days off work. Symptoms worse than any flu they have ever had. Just like I said the old uns seem to be totally untouched by any side effects and as more and more younger get the vax these stories will come out more and more. Yes feeling like shit for a week and having a week off work is better than being dead.
I've had my invitation from the NHS to a arrange for my vaccination arrive today. Earlier than I anticipated. I also did something that I never believed I would ever do last week, and paid for some private medical treatment, to relieve a painful reoccurring condition that has been getting worse and could have led to permanent a disablement. I had inquired and flagged this up last Sept with the NHS, but didn't really expect anything to happen until the backlog clears, so I bit the bullet and stumped up the readies

So quick. Website was simple and worked fine, turned up at the site, very well organised and efficient, in and out in 15 minutes. 2nd shot in May. And a bonus, the private treatment appears to be working
Here it is in PDF form on the gov website -- why don't they publish this in all the media media outlets so people can read it before they get jabbed. For some reason someone somewhere has decided it would be best not to.Patient Information leaflet of Pfizer Biotech Link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/948518/Information_for_UK_recipients_on_PfizerBioNTech.pdf
I just don't think we are ever going to be able to keep up with mutations - new vax- mutation - new vax and by then some sort of heard immunity will of been reached and only the vulnerable will bother getting RE- vaccinated every 6 months.
Exactly the same as flu or the common cold then! No big deal.
