Luton Town V Sheffield Wednesday

[abbeyedges]

One of the most disturbing stories to emerge this week is the time scale expected to get everyone vaccinated.

 

Once we have the millions of doses of the Oxford drug we should be mobilising the armed services, student nurses if necessary to administer this literally 24/7.

Timely,honest communication from a source an audience deems credible is essential to containing fear during a Pandemic.

It's the alarming tone used in media coverage that unnerves me.

 

 

 

Stay well and enjoy you Christmas and New Year.

Not read your link, @petemcewan, but I can guess most of its content. There does seem to be a general desire amongst the 'mainstream' media to cause as much panic as possible, which is unforgivable - IMHO.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Maybe get the BioNTech- first dose -out to as many people as possible-then follow up later.

Unfortunately, with supply chains the way they are at the moment, there would be no point in giving first doses without a guaranteed second dose in the freezers somewhere.

A thing to watch out for is the theory that the varient(s) are a consequence of treatments and vaccine.

To early to tell ,re ,vaccines.

Varients brewing up in immune compromised people!

 

 

It's all theory.There's no scientific proof of any of it.

The "News" keeps rolling out all these Profs ,Dr's ,Epidemiologists and god knows who. All spouting "authoritatively" their own pet theories.

Who are  they? Where have they come from? Who cares?

 

IT's DOING ME HEAD IN !

Any links to that as it sounds very conspiratorial

The Government is being urged to give as many people as possible an initial dose of a Covid vaccine - rather than preserving stocks so there is enough for second jabs.   The numbers are "straightforward". You give one dose you get 91% [protection] you give two doses and you get 95% - you are only gaining 4% for giving the second dose

A bit more perspective on that - Coronavirus: Vaccinate more people with one dose, urges Tony Blair.

Exactly. Pfizer haven't stated or claimed one dose gives 91% protection.
