Fully agree with you. The only good Covid strategy is zero Covid. If the double jab at the RECOMMENDED interval works to reduce fatality rates and also reduces the infection rates..even if not super at this , bring it on;!!!. The Israeli are also suggesting they have aa treatment for existing infections which seems to work..which is also very good news.
Brexit, for once some facts.

- Start date
With respect, many people in their 80 s will have metabolisms just basically ticking over and it takes very little to drive them over the edge.. and that may even include even the relatively benign effects of a vaccination .
Once again the government has made promises above and beyond what is reasonably attainable.
They are following the good old Maxim if at first you don't succeed try hiding the evidence ,but if that doesn't work
Find something else to confuse the public with
Covid variants and vaccine resistance: all you need to know
Which vaccines are effective against which strains? And what does it mean for herd immunity and the future?

Reasonable article from Guardian explaining where we actually are regarding vaccines.

They asked her when she thinks she will have her shot.
"I don't actually know"
Rather a telling indictment.
But I suppose our Europhiles will tell her jab is useless so don't worry,whilst awaiting their own second jab.
Logical point of view would be the best option is likely to be the inhalable chemical treatment that kills the virus on the spot immediately denying it the time to mutate
Used in conjunction with vaccinations we should be able to wipe it off the face of the Earth at least temporarily
Will you never give up on this anti-eu campaign of yours? I don't know when I'm going to have my second shot, is that the fault of the EU as well?The EU’s captain Ursula von der Leyen missed millions of shots. Now she must answer to her team

And are you in a position to tell me I can be absolutely sure of getting a level of protection that will save my life if until I have that second job?
From the start I've been saying there is no such guarantee, and more and more evidence is indicating that is actually the case

ANGELA MERKEL is under mounting pressure to break away from the EU amid growing fury in Germany at Brussels and Ursula von der Leyen's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Except that at least one inhalable substance is based on iodine. And has pronounced effects on thyroid hormone levels.
I know many would be pretty much unaffected, but there seems to be no realistic way of identifying in advance those who are likely to have problems.
Many might tolerate one dose, but if they have to repeat and repeat, it is likely more and more will end up with problems.
I like the idea of Europe and dislike the machinery at Brussels.
Does it make me a hypocrite?
Not me making decision OG, and no nobody can guarantee anything. Folk still die even after 2nd jab... But thanks, your second jab probably saved my daughter from being severely ill. Which sums up precisely situation we are in. You getting your second jab on time would have meant others in vulnerable or demanding situations go about their business with zero protection.
As for anti EU sentiment, no I was not at all. They have managed that on their own.

Ask OG, he's an expert in this field. (and every other)
BTW we are still in Europe. I love Europe. See myself as European. So if you are, so am I.
They need Scotland to leave the UK and join the EU. Then they can have lots of the famous engineers of the MacHinery clan to replace what they now use.
They may be the luckiest ones and indeed are more likely to be with the latest news.
Getting their jabs later makes it likely theirs will be fully effective against the resistant new strains. Not only that, many of the newer vaccines are likely to be single dose for full effectiveness so less hassle.
Meanwhile like nearly all of us they are at very little risk from Covid-19 if they follow the precautions.

Not really I'm a big fan of England and detest The politicians at Westminster
Zlatan, very few people in the UK have been immunised , and even less in the EU. That is the fact. These are 2 sequenced jabs not single jabs. Would you ay you had been fed when you went to a banquet and had just got the soup course.?
For some reason an image of the worm Ouruboros springs to mind
I have never claimed to be an expert just to be an independent thinker ,you should try it sometime .Of course it might blow the odd fuse here and there ,and unlike some occasionally I get things right

When it comes to the EU's performance re vaccines, I think it interesting (even if utterly futile) to consider what might have happened without brexit.
If the UK is so well respected and competent in this regard, perhaps the best parts of the UK implementation could have been achieved across the whole of the EU? Resulting in even greater levels of vaccination by now - and better availability for the rest of the world into the future.

Zlatan, that is close to insane. Read the article. What she really said is ... I am a resident here in Belgium, I will be informed by the Belgian health authorities of when 62 year olds get vaccinated,and I am not jumping the que.. I would expect others to do the same.The EU’s captain Ursula von der Leyen missed millions of shots. Now she must answer to her team
