Credit where credit is due.

Quoted from DB

The trouble is politicians meddle too much with the NHS and never take responsibility for the meddling and problems they cause.

The trouble with the NHS is the NHS!

I think the correct term is ‘lyingcunts’.

I’m not sure where we’re giving credit?

The vaccine rollout seems to be going well.

I have not been too impressed with the government so far, but to get Brexit completed, the trading arrangements sorted out and having to deal with a pandemic cannot have been easy. The pandemic has hit all countries very hard but at least being out of the sclerotic EU has enabled us to get on with the vaccinations much quicker than we would have done.

Let's hope this is the start of getting back to normality, the restrictions start being lifted by early spring and the government gets on with the job of investing in places as promised at the last election.

Nice to see the rollout going better than I thought. Well over 10 million and all most vulnerable to be vaccinated within a couple of weeks.

I had my jab a week ago, and everything was done with military precision so well done to all concerned.

Can't wait to get back to normal which will be a blessed relief for us all.

“ Britain outside the EU was able to operate as a “speedboat” in securing coronavirus vaccines, the European Commission president admitted today.

In an acknowledgement of Europe’s slow pace of vaccine rollout, Ursula von der Leyen said that operating on its own allowed the UK to move more nimbly to secure supplies.”

and


“ The French government refused to fully fund research by Valneva, a Franco-Austrian startup that has developed its vaccine at its headquarters near Nantes in the Loire region.

Instead, the British backed the development, securing an agreement to supply 60 million doses from a plant in Livingston, West Lothian, starting in October. France won’t get the vaccine until next year.

Franck Grimaud, the company’s chief executive, said that several governments had been contacted at the launch of the project. “The UK responded the fastest,” he said.“


Just a couple of today’s pronouncements from Europe.

I am very happy and grateful to have been able to get my vaccination so quickly.

So far my arm has not withered and dropped off.

Just worth pointing out that Valneva is only running their Phase 1/2 trials at present. Data readout available some time after April 2021 and so we don't know yet if it will work. May well be money down the chute, but let's hope not. I certainly don't mind the government spending a bit of money to support the production of vaccines, especially when you consider how much has been thrown away on dodgy PPE deals and an ineffective track and trace service. Due to the rollout of the other vaccines, get a readout on Valneva's Phase 3 trials will take a while as well, unless they run the trials elsewhere in the world where most aren't immunised. I'd be amazed if anybody got a dose of their vaccine, once approved, much before Christmas.

My guess is that the French will have refused to fund Valneva because they don't manufacture in France and will also have expected that Sanofi's vaccine would work. Unfortunately the Sanofi vaccine candidate flunked out and they are going back to work on it again, increasing the concentration levels so that will be more lengthy trials required in the future. They are going to help produce some of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in the interim, so not a complete waste.

The UK vaccine taskforce has certainly done an excellent job. Just a pity that the rest of our government has done so poorly in comparison to most of their European counterparts.
