Well, had my first flu vax today. It means that my local GP surgeries have vaxed everyone over 50, (who wanted one), with zero fuss, zero problems, in about 4 weeks.

If the OU/GZ vax is as easy to distribute and store as they say, then once its lobbed at the surgeries, you ma be surprised at how efficient they are.

I hope so... I just have very strong doubts and want to stay realistic.

Every zombie apocalypse generally starts with an experimental vaccine being dished out to the unsuspecting public.

I once had an employee who said this about the flu vaccine. Only he was being serious. He honestly thinks Zombies are real. He is one of those anti vaccine dopes too.

He was good at what he does but we had to let him go because the two new contracts we took on required shots and up to date vaccines.

He effectively lost out on a healthy high five figure sum for two months work.

Now he works in Best Buy as part of their Geek squad.

I feel sorry for him tbh, even though it’s his own fault.....

Thread from the Lancet on the Oxford vaccine.

I really did too but my hands were tied. He was excellent at what he does and we gave him a great reference. Gave him a pretty solid severance too.

We did offer him a role in another contract later on. But he turned it down which obviously we expected.
