Can someone please phone a doctor, I think somebody I know has swallowed the Morning Star.

Its a funny one, France, Germany, Nordic countries and Canada all doing solo runs on the younger age groups. EMA hasn't changed its regulation. Though some of those countries aren't in the EU. Hopefully Covax benefits if its a permanent thing, but those countries are still doing their older groups at the moment anyway, so maybe they have the luxury of just redirecting other vaccines - to younger cohorts. Though it seems all a bit flip floppy, given the initial concern was effectiveness on over 65s - still you wonder what is guiding the decision making given the pause was lifted by the majority of the countries after the EMA reassurance.

Not just the EMA , the WHO fully endorse it.

He`s only warming up mate, he hasn`t even started on the topic of neo liberal scum yet.

Well into the over 50's now mate.

Most of my friends have either had or been offered 1, we are in our mid-40s.

The missus was actually offered 1 last week, she is in her mid-30s, her text said she had an underlying condition, what it is she isn't sure, it was a total mystery.

You still dont really understand the full picture on vaccines do you?

Dont I?

I read this article earlier and thought it was horrible, gutter journalism to be honest. Real agenda driven and patronising.

Depending on the political bias of the owners of a newspaper most pieces are agenda driven. Take away that and it's a sad story about an educated man who made some choices that led to,for him,a tragic end. But nobody forced him to take the actions he did.

Thats odd. If she had a text, thats from a GP surgery, as far as I know. (I got both, a letter from the DSS/NHS Trust, and a text from the GP).

So her patient records have been coded at some point to indicate a status that perhaps she had, but no longer has. Either way, nice one.

Not from your posts, no.

Shes had some issues with Birth control pills over the years, that's the only thing we can think of and there was never a conclusion.

At the end of the day, although the vax roll out has been fantastic, at some point, at some time, someone has to input some data on a computer, which will trigger letters and texts for all manner of stuff. Until that data is changed, again, manually.

A quick trawl through my posts will show its quite easy to push a wrong button.

My missus ( extremely vulnerable ) actually got a phone call from our GP.

Same day our neice ( late 20's) got a txt , she had sepsis years ago and fully recovered.
Must be prioritising through their records.

New study shows overwhelming public support for donating vaccines to low-income countries | University of Oxford

A survey led by the University of Oxford has found that most people in high-income countries support donating some of their country’s COVID-19 vaccine supplies to low-income nations who would otherwise struggle to gain access.

Yeah, Nikki got a call, again, pretty vulnerable. Sepsis is an odd one, depending on how it developed, as it were. Even if it caused what thankfully your niece has recovered from, (wider infection, lung stuff), that coding will still be on her record.

Think it’s as much to do with marketing a product to a specific readership/ customer base to be honest.

Probably said enough on the matter. Hope the guys family come through ok and have plenty of support around them, and the same goes to anyone who’s lost loved ones during this time.
