Had my vaccine this morning. Like a military operation at the golf club in Leek Wootton. I was the youngest by a long chalk.

Good news. Is the long chalk their way of keeping everyone socially distanced while signing in?

A newspaper misinterpreted that. The German government are just saying there's not enough data... yet. That also seems the approach of France. Whenever the data is there to prove it's fine for over 65s, they'll use it.

Coming down Pete but at a snail's pace.
Would be great to see some big incremental drops but I think that's wishful thinking.

What’s the lag from vaccination? Two weeks for it to work, plus what two weeks for a case to turn to death? Where were we for vaccinations a month ago?

What does one do about a vaccine sceptic in the family though. My sister works in care homes and hasn't signed up to get it yet. My mother was the same but she went and had it done after something in the news spooked her.

She's not normally an anti vax nutter, all her kids are vaccinated and everything. She's just worried about the speed it's been developed in.

I've been on at her about her putting the residents at risk, that it's been approved, linking to studies about it working and she's still not making her mind up. I don't want to put too much pressure on her and put her off the whole thing just to piss me off but I want her to get fucking jabbed.

Any advice?

Drown her. If she survives, then she’s a witch.

Or something like that, I dunno.

My sister kept saying everyone’s entitled to their opinion and when she said no one even knows about treatment and what causes infection to spread

I said I’m out of the discussion
if there’s no rational or logical argument I don’t have time to waste listening to her tripe

That said you guys were reasonably patient with me about Burge

How do you mean poor? In terms of approvals? They've been pretty well aligned with countries like the United States, for example.

Regardless of how they're handling the rollout overall, I think their decision shows that an EU federalist conspiracy isn't the only obvious reason why regulators would hit the brakes on the AZ vaccine.

Or you are for some reason desperate to show there isn’t a conspiracy as the tide is turning against our beloved EU comrades block of nations

Make sure you follow it up with a right to the body and possibly a second jab before the hayemaker.

12 billion for someone who hasn't got a fucking clue.
Stolen from the public purse in broad daylight and indirectly responsible for how many deaths?

They seem to be getting people vaccinated quickly so just waiting for them to say we have decided we can improve this and have brought in a specialist.

Wonder how we’re going to manage the top groups getting their second jabs in time while also maintaining first jabs for the groups after.
