The EU dithered. They still are dithering.
that's not correct.
No ! yet again. It is the difference between being small ..and in this case agile, and being bigger. The EU is still vaccinating at the same number of people per day as the UK, but being 8 times bigger the percentage per day is smaller. The UK got a head start with the Pfizer, and then Pfizer reduced output while they were upscaling, so the allocations were not as much. I could reasonably say that the UK is cheating because they are not using the Pfizer in the manner in which the material was authorised for use. The EU and the USA are following the manufacturers guidelines.. which is what makes the USAs performance impressive
The EU is vaccinating the same number of people per day as the U.K.
That’s a boll ocks statistic and you know it. What percentage of their population are they vaccinating each day? That’s where the truth of their dither & delay is exposed.
it's a new technology so much of the side effects still needs to be found out.
The two trial doses given 4 weeks apart, not the 12 weeks we are subject to.
Just say it twice.I wouldn't use Johnson as a tipster!
I wouldn’t call a vaccination programme which humiliates virtually every EU vaccine rollout fluffing it. You can continue your over analysis, wrong conclusions and further dither and delay. What a clown show.
To be fair OG, you criticise everything. It sort of loses its affect. It seems to me you are wanting vaccine to fail. I don't think you, ve offered the slightest positive towards what has been an exceptional effort. Come on OG, give it a go. Try and see the positives. You are in a privileged position with respect to vaccine, we all are in UK. I do think much of your criticism is unfounded and misplaced.
I like the EU approach??? What, ignore the advice of its own medical agency, dither for 3 months before placing an order, stop-start a vaccination rollout whilst simultaneously undermining public confidence so you end up with 20% confidence in vaccination??? Face a third wave of infection whilst the vaccination programme has barely started??? Be 10 weeks behind where they should be???
Though being supplied under Janssen branding!Just say it twice.
Johnson & Johnson has official approval.
.
Or Boris Johnson eventually changing his name by deed poll to escape his reputation!Perhaps they will end up renaming themselves Janssen & Janssen?
of course not. Look in the mirror sometime.
The threat from the disease > The threat from the vaccine.
OK, I was giving the UK the benefit of the doubt.. at present in round numbers 40% of the UK population of 66 M has had at least one jab. 10% of the EU population of 450M have had at least 1 jab. The daily vaccine rate of Germany +France+Spain equals the UK daily vaccination rate. You can't use what you don't have. Now if the EU decides to play fair, and level the field and stop playing softball, and restrict EU produced vaccines to EU, it will have at least 30M more per month.The EU is vaccinating the same number of people per day as the U.K.
Its where they start making the cut that matters,. If the initial incision is at the neck...
You cannot use what you don't have. .. the availability of the AZ has been so erratic that it is of minor consequence in Europe. 10%.. Except in Ireland,20% where we will lap up all we can and could get.. Incidentally my lad got his first dose this morning.
Which part of availability have you a difficulty understanding. ?. The contract with the UKs NHS stipulated that there could be no exports until their quota was fulfilled..which had not happened. So it would have made no difference whether the EU had signed, before, during or 3 months later than the UK.
