My daughter who might actually know about these things, suggested that if the immune system is primed, the response is stronger. Now my son is constantly fighting infections and so he got a strong reaction. Someone with a previous CV infection will have a similar response. Incidentally getting Covid twice is not impossible or even unusual.... Evidence around
What I am unclear on is whether we can get infected with the exact same version - twice (or more).

Anyone know for sure?

I can't see how Sidney Powell can wriggle out of these lawsuits.
That makes me wonder if Donald Trump would use the same defence under similar circumstances.
Still, what motivated people to believe her in the first place?
I suspect it could, if the right people were minded to act, result in her being chucked out of the profession for her behaviour - now self-admitted.

My wife had first Oxford jab on Feb 8, just had invite for second jab later today, so about 6 weeks. 2 very bad days after first jab (in bed, no food, etc). I'll update on side-effects from second jab, it seems anecdotally that it should not be nearly so bad.

I had first Pfizer on Feb 2, no side-effects, no offer of second jab yet.

Is it true or is it false? I haven't the faintest idea!

" the fact is AZ have 29m extra doses hidden in Rome while simultaneously telling the EU that they can only deliver 1/3 of what the promised in a contract.... more major corporate malfeasance by AZ
Hidden (?) and found following an investigation triggered by a notice from the European Commission...
Here is more
"Hi Fionna, I'm Italian and my family in Italy has confirmed. AZ hid the vaccine doses in a small village outside Rome and was ready to send them to the UK without the Italian permit. It was discovered and blocked (for now) till more investigations are carried. "

I do love traditional ways of doing business the way my ancestors did, nothing like a bit of old fashioned Honest Smuggling

Probably if we do enough of it on a massive scale we might just survive till Brexit is reversed.

Robin Hood's Bay was the last holdout of this traditional trade in Yorkshire, all the older house were connected with hidden tunnels, the Revenue men often didn't bother raiding any particular house as they knew they would end up raiding them all.
By the time they finished that they either had to search local caves, boats, or farms within a ten mile radius where the contraband ha been shifted to!

The locals must have loved watching the performance, after all they didn't have Radio and TV in those days :cool:

I said same last week. Read one report and it says supply is major issue. Read another and it says countries throughout EU have large stockpiles.
A doctor from Berlin MVC was on tele last week. He said they had 2.8 million (AZ) vaccines in storage. On same programme not 10 minutes later report said AZ were not supplying sufficient to Germany.???


Has there been a concerted political move to destroy trust in AZ vaccine or is it problematic.? I suspect the former.

"A European source has me, this is apparently a shipment for Canada and Mexico So still potentially subject to export ban but not intended for UK "

you can book online here:
Thank you for that. It seems I can't though.
You are not currently eligible to book through this service
If you’ve already had your first dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine at a GP surgery or hospital, contact them to book the second dose of the vaccine.


That part of the system seems to have worked pretty well so far (despite flecc's comments) and my second wasn't due yet anyway according to their (disputed) rules, so I'll wait and see what happens, at least for now.

Those are not necessarily contradictory. 2.8 million is well under a weeks supply when they get their vaccination program in proper swing; just about 2 days worth if they are going to be cautious and keep a second dose ready for use 3 weeks after the fist.

Leaving aside your ancestors, I would find that story unbelievable. AZ would never have done that. Whether the Mafia would be capable is plausible, but the IT infrastructure required makes it improbable. The AZ bottling finishing plant is in Italy. That quantity would require 30 individual batches of product to have gone missing, each with a full inventory chain of invoices ,purchase order, delivery notes and complete audit trails..
I would put this down to a soundwave level conspiracy theory.

Now with the additional information from the Bloomberg source, it makes more sense. The Halix plant is not yet licenced to dispense by the EMA, so those doses are going nowhere in the EU at present. If and when the EMA has certified the Halix plant, they will be used in Europe.

Just a reminder, in case anyone needs it, that all side effects of Covid-19 vaccines, indeed pretty much anything to do with Covid-19, can be reported:

https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/

I encourage everyone who has appropriate reason to do so - even if it is a suspicion rather than definite, even if it is mild rather than serious.
I agree.. that is how progress is made. My son had a much better night , .. not over the reaction yet , but certainly a lot easier than the previous night.
