lol

You're ridiculous.

I‘m glad you agreed with the rest of the post...baby steps.....

I don't think that the spouting of Manu are making any difference to the admittedly poor vaccination rate here.
The vaccination centres are set up but there is an acute shortage of vaccine. A centre in our main town had stuff for 200 jabs yesterday. Ffs. 200!
Macron is deeply unpopular due his implementation of a sort of austerity program leading to a significant cut in public services.
His anti brit comments are of little interest to the general population and the vaccine shortage is blamed on the EU of course.

Apparently you still have over a million AZ vaccine in store...is it being used or not.....

Do you usually have a large vax programme every year for flu? Or is this a dry run at a mass vax programme?

From what I understand, the AZ is being used for some specific age groups at sans rdv (walk in no appointment) places. Does not appear to be in general distribution yet. Malheureusement.

I just hope they start using everything they’ve got tbh.....

But unless there is a national data base that can easily identify the folk who need it, its a tough gig. Its been the thing that has astonished me here; quite how robust and easy it was to get all the different groups prioritised, contacted, then jabbed.

Never gave it a moments thought before.

edit. "easy" is the wrong word, but you get the gist.

Mass anti flu vaccination campaign is in operation every autumn. It is organised at departmental level by the local CPAM (social security health admin).
GPs and pharmacies do the jabs.
The covid thing is being run at national level by the health ministry in Paris and is using a different type of program using hospitals and specially set up vaccination centres.
Plans to include docs, vets and pharmacists just announced.

The origins of the virus were in China. They solved their problem and are largely free of it. The global economy meant that business people out there brought it to Europe where it was perfected in Britain due to Johnson the Butcher leaving it room to mutate and produce a far more transmittable and deadlier variant.

Let me put this bluntly: if Johnson had been aborted we'd have another 60,000-70,000 people still alive here in this country today.

They 'say' that they have fixed their problem but only after infecting the rest of the world with their problem. There is no excusing this fact Dave. It is the second time in a few years also, just that we managed to dodge the bullet last time as their last virus burnt out before it could kill millions as their new one has

That seems similar to us, other than London isnt involved. Not as far as I know anyrate.

The NHS and DSS data bases have ID'd who needs what and when, and then supplies have decided where you are directed for a jab. Sometimes there is a cross over, but its been astonishingly well done.

They will also rub your tummy and say you’ve been a good boy.....

The Murderer:

“I think the second half of the year will have the potential to be really fantastic. But it depends on things still going right,” he said. “We depend on the successful vaccine programme, and disease not taking off again.”

“The question is, is it going to be, this time, as bad it has been in the past? Or have we sufficiently mitigated, muffled, blunted impact by the vaccine rollout? That’s a question we still don’t really know the answer to.”

Not exactly the scenario being painted for us in January and February when the vaccines were "going to transform the situation".

There's been an unmistakable rowing back over the course of this month on claims made previously about what we can expect from the vaccines.

It's called globalism. The UK Virus was perfected here and then sent around the world.

That will probably be cos he doesnt have a crystal ball Dave.

Nobody can say for sure what the future will hold.

Variants can and do happen, it would be pretty foolish for a leader to say "Its all over lads, we beat this", I'm kinda surprised he didnt.

Then he should have kept his diseased trap shut.
