Being reported Israel very close to Herd Immunity.
Population of 5.3 million , looks like they have completely vaccinated their nation
9,337,420 according to 2021 Wikipedia data which is backed up with a good source to verify it (yep, it’s not the most reliable website!). Still, if 5.3 million is the vaccination stats, with that added onto those who had Covid and recovered to create immunity, then that’s more than enough to achieve the goal.

Boris should look at Gibraltar and see what’s happening there before he opens his mouth and lets garbage spew out of it.
 
So now the ONS are saying that 23% of the supposed Covid deaths were not from Covid, but were deaths of people that had tested positive from Covid at some point, but the cause of death was something unrelated.

Tell us something we don't know. I would expect that number to be even higher to be honest..

Incorrect allocation is going to happen when you are dealing with so many deaths. It's difficult to get it spot on when hundreds of thousands of people in the UK have died over the past 12 months.

In my opinion the deaths above 5 year average is a good statistic to use as it gives you an idea of the impact.
 
To be expected, after all I suspect they were behind the dissing of the AZ.
Sideline the competition.

I see J&J are now upsetting the EU suggesting there may be delays to production. Apparently the EU are now looking to ditch both AZ and J&J when they can and rely on Pfizer and Moderna. They will be able to sell that to their people as they’ve already been softened up with the attacks upon AZ and now the USA have put a pause on J&J so the EU will assume the moral high ground, while obviously covering their backs. Apparently Denmark is saying it won’t use AZ, unless it gets hit by a third wave...just another usual day in the EU....
 
@LinekersLegs bit of an update on this study we were talking about during the week mate.

Thanks. Had a look into the details seems they are also comparing dosing regimens, unclear when they will report results.
We are studying combinations of two different vaccines, and there will be 820 participants. As more new SARS-CoV-2 vaccines become available, more vaccines may be included in the trial and so the total number of participants may increase.
  • Participants will be allocated, at random, (rather like a flip of a coin) to receive one dose of one approved vaccine and a second dose of either the same approved vaccine, or a dose of a different approved vaccine. Participants will also be allocated at random to the timing of receiving these doses – some will get a boost dose four weeks after the first dose (prime) and some will get a boost at twelve weeks.
  • Between 5 and 9 routine blood tests will be taken over the course of a year to look at the immune responses to the vaccine depending on the group you are in. You may also be asked for a nasal fluid sample at each visit. If you were to test positive for the virus causing COVID-19 we may ask you to attend for an extra visit.
  • Participants will need to complete an online diary for up to 28 days following each of the two vaccinations
  • The trial will take one year to complete per participant (from the time the first dose of vaccine is given)
 
Ha ha do you think the U.K. will get a discount or something mate. Its future orders mate. This will be across the board.

I hadn’t mentioned the U.K. I’m not sure that we would even be buying more than we have already ordered because the AZ and others more than cover our needs. Of course it’s an across the board rise....

For gods sake don’t tell Davek, it’ll put the U.K. in a similar category to the rest of Europe, well apart from Germany who put most people down as dying from seasonal flu.....
