Hopefully they smash the vaccines these next 2-3 weeks with that India surplus of AZ coming in.

@BlueToff not looking good for those festivals mate!

Had my first vaccine shot yesterday. It was the AZ vaccine.

Feel rough as an old dog at the moment, knackered and I keep falling asleep. No blood clots yet though

Few paracetamol and plenty of water mate, take a day or so and you’ll be right as rain

Yikes, that’s a strong opinion mate, it’s an opinion though.

From an EU perspective, you can flip that narrative from the EU to the UK and UVL to Boris on the same issue. Likely that’s the crux of the disagreement.

It’s a wonder we get anything done!

I can understand the immense frustration there must be at the very top of the technocracy when a major EU wide procurement program has so completely unravelled with logistical and supply issues. You can easily read the spin in every announcement, they know it's a total mess and are looking around at how best to deflect from the real architects.

I must admit to being slightly perturbed by their far too centralised approach. Their intentions were idealistic and well meaning, it was great in theoretical terms but just hasn't worked out that way. One centralised big project breaks and everyone suffers, a broken spoke in the wheel has caused far too many difficulties across the board.

Perhaps the problem is in the management it's too unwieldy and bureaucratic filled with placemen to appease various factions, too large, perhaps unable to divide easily and make efficient and more manageable. Has similarities to when companies become so big they lose focus on why they exist, their customer base and how to answer their questions, deal with their problems and serve them better.

Honestly think it really could be the Moderna ones - there's been no news as of late about it, the last articles I could find were all Jan/Feb time and just stressed 'in the spring'.

Well, whatever your definition of 'spring',we're into it now, and there's been no further word.

If they were planning on having 17m doses delivered in the next month or so which now aren't going to be, then that's probably a significant reduction

It's either that or there's a problem with one of the AZ plants/that supply

As I said in a previous post, I think there is a problem with the supply coming through from AZ. I also think there could be an issue getting vaccines out of the US. The EU seem to think so anyway. And AZ said in a statement this week that they are having problems meeting the orders for the EU, which they hoped to make up from their International supplies but were having issues getting export licences. Their main International production plants are in India and the US. So the Moderna supplies could be held up if they are prioritising the USA.

Think it was the shivers that were the worst, I nearly had to get a hot water bottle ffs.

No shivers for me - I just feel drained and tired. I guess everyone’s immune response is different.

 

[davek]

You feeling any better mate?

Shivers in the early hours; woke with a bad headache; nothing particular since. Feel ok, tbf.

 

[davek]

Slowing in the rate of vaccine roll out + the stubbornly high hospitilized numbers should be kicking that 'roadmap' reopening plan a month down the road.

Kinda similar to how I was, good to hear you’re ok man

 

[navidson]

Stayed in for a year to protect old people, now they've used up all of the vaccine so the rest of us can't have any

Cheers for that

Dave may be loving the news this scaremongering letter is bringing, but come May it will be hell for him as the vaccines will be roaring again.

 

[navidson]

I'm ranting, you're sulking
