Virologist Chris Smirh on the Jeremy Vine show again.
He's so knowledgeable and reassuring and explains things in a way that is both calming and easy to understand.
Johnson could do a lot worse than rolling him out at the covid briefings

He never said that.
Look, the French vaccination program is in big trouble due to severe shortage of vaccine. Shortage due to the EC procurement fiasco. Due to not jumping the gun on orders before full trials and evaluations were complete.
What Macron is saying is that we are late but safe, the British cut corners and took a risk.
At the time of his comment, the over 65 isuue was not resolved.

So somebody who is an expert in his field with an important message to pass on to the public, should turn down the biggest stage he will ever get to do that out of principle.
That sounds reasonable

The initial concerns stemmed from the use of Ad5 vector (common cold) as the delivery mechanism for vaccines due to it being identified as an issue in previous trials for HIV vaccines. It looks like they may have moved past this but the article below gives some insight. It will be great if these recent trials have proved it safe for use.
Could certain COVID-19 vaccines leave people more vulnerable to the AIDS virus?
Cold-causing adenovirus used in four experimental COVID-19 vaccines increased risk of HIV infection when used in AIDS vaccine trials
... and yet if you search for “Pfizer second dose” you get a story on Sky:
COVID-19: Delaying second dose of Pfizer jab may leave elderly at risk of catching South African variant, study suggests
Lab tests showed that one dose of the vaccine may not stimulate the immune system to produce enough antibodies to kill the virus.news.sky.com
Even though that’s been out for 15 hours, that’s the only outlet that I can find who reported it. “Yes, but it’s not peer reviewed!” I hear you cry - but the positive AZ one that’s been mentioned above hasn’t yet been either, according to this:
Single dose of AstraZeneca vaccine could cut transmission by 67%
One jab could also offer protection of up to 76% for up to 12 weeks, a new study showswww.theguardian.com
I thought I might get better results searching for the name of the scientist quoted, one Dami Collier - and it worked, with stories found from goradio, the peninsular (of Qatar) and a medical site reporting it. No mainstream U.K. outlets though.
Then though I remembered how absurd it is to google search news reports to see if something is happening or not. I resolved to instead look at what the experts, the people who developed the thing. They said:
BioNTech warns ‘no data’ to support UK plan to space out Covid shots
German manufacturer says vaccine was only tested on basis of two doses 21 days apartwww.ft.com
That just backs up my point though?
I did a quick search using one term, and plenty of articles about the risks came up. That was my point?
Also, the AZ trial results that @Neiler posted are very positive for 12 week spacing. So that should just be irrelevant now really sure?
Given we have 100m doses of AZ on order I'd say the likelihood is AZ, but obviously won't know for sure.
May well be Moderna or any other ones we've got coming because yeah people who have had their first dose should get the same vaccine as their second dose (though I know it wouldn't be against the trend for the government to change that, I don't think they will).
I don't really care tbh, happy to just have it when my time comes - which fingers crossed is going to be a lot sooner than first expected.
Papers being more left wing or right wing than each other doesn't make 'the media' biased.
