Oh no. I wouldn't want to upset you by dragging in Tory failure.Not mention of Tories or 127000 dead.
Well done
I think it would help some of the surrounding countries that at an earlier stage but as @Mrk pointed out India already has an awful lot of exponential growth that only strict lockdowns/good masks are likely to impact in enough time to make a big difference.
this is really dodgy advice in my view. If Europe has a surge and people refuse AZ cos 7 people died out of 18 million vs a much higher chance of dying from Covid that's not good.
You haven’t been tuning into Canada then who managed to get everyone upset this week!
NACI accused of contributing to confusion, hesitancy over 'preferred' vaccines guidance
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization is being accused of creating confusion about COVID-19 vaccines after it restated that mRNA vaccines were 'preferred' over the viral vector ones.
@Billy Dean The most useful data I’ve seen is this from 23rd April that helps put into context the risks/rewards based on age/infection rate, haven’t seen any further updates on incident rate.
I got the J&J which also has been flagged for a rare blood clot issue and don’t regret my decision but I did do my homework and was comfortable with the risk/reward - I also made sure I knew the signs of a blood clot so could seek medical advice early if I experienced anything.
Contacting your doctor might be a good idea as they will know your personal circumstances and what would be the best approach.
Can only speak from personal experience but I am 35 and had my first AZ jab 8 weeks ago and I’m fine. My personal advice would be to take any vaccine they offer you as the risks are so small.
As @LinekersLegs says, seek proper medical advice, if you’re worried.
Not from someone who has flip flopped all over the place since day one on this, has no medical background whatsoever and is trying to use the pandemic to further his own warped agenda.
Move over dogs, bees are the bees knees in COVID detection!

Bees in the Netherlands trained to detect COVID-19 infections
Dutch researchers have trained bees, which have an unusually keen sense of smell, to identify samples infected with COVID-19, a finding they said could cut waiting times for test results to just seconds.

Welcome back Wayne
Apart from SputnikV and anything from China obviously.....
Don’t think they’re on the table in Germany, Pete.
The Russia one looks to be pretty effective against Covid tbh, although the live cold virus is sloppy engineering
Brazil: Was there sloppiness with Sputnik V?
Brazil has halted approval of Sputnik V, claiming that a vector virus in the vaccine was not inactive and could cause severe colds. Russia is denying the accusation.

The China one is poor on 1st dose and overall not as effective in avoiding infection but it does seem to help in keeping hospitalizations/deaths down
China’s Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine 67% effective in preventing symptomatic infection - Chile govt report
China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine was 67% effective in preventing symptomatic infection, data from a huge real-world study inChile has shown, a potential boost for the jab which has come under scrutiny over its level of protection against the virus.
They wouldn’t be my first choice but I’d probably choose them if the only ones available and I certainly would have for my parents given their age risk for Covid.
As of today my parents (fully vaxxed), my two brothers and my sister in law have all had the jab. Makes me very happy
