Agree that very important to check the background of people to ensure they are using accurate data and appreciate he isn’t blue check-marked but he is the maths prof referred to in this story

he’s frequently referenced by the data guy at FT who has been focusing on Covid

And Channel 5 have used his charts (~1.5 min in)


so although I personally haven’t double checked his data sources I’d hope at least one of them has.

Yep sorry…I more meant whether the government sources he uses are accurate.

Ha no they actually lost, you must have read the judgement. To be fair though it’s only the interim judgement, it’s not over yet, recommences in Sept.

Yet while the U.K. has been working with the developers and suppliers resulting in whole population figures of 62% first dose and 45% second dose, the EU have been trashing the reputation of AZ and taking them to court to cover the ego’s and backs of its leaders, resulting in ROI figures of 46% first dose and 21% second dose.....

Nah mate we were 55% first doses last week, so I’d say we’re about 60%-65% now, 25% were fully, id say it’s about 30% -35% now, might be more mind this was supposed to be a record breaking week. Your data is a mile off.

AZ have been a poor partner for the EU I think mate. I think generally they have been a poor partner for Oxford, their only real success story was you guys, even if the virus profile isn’t great at the moment, the U.K. have had a really good roll out. The EU have binned them and the US are giving their AZ vaccines away. It’s such a huge pity because the Oxford vaccine was a brilliant vaccine, it deserved a better partner then AZ. It’s essentially lost the worlds two biggest markets in terms of confidence.

The Tory government have allowed him to continue in an attempt to discredit labour. Their normal supporters in the media are constantly tweeting about it.

Nice try, I used the Our world in Data, which is there or there abouts. One or two percentage points one way or the other. You’ve done this before, trying to exaggerate your numbers while having a go at the U.K. and by association AZ. You are way behind NI and the rest of the U.K. and no amount of obfuscation will hide it, but please keep trying.....

It’s not mate our world data is way off. I pointed it out earlier in the week.

I’m very critical of AZ, I’m really dissapointed in them as an EU partner and I do think the Oxford vaccine is great and deserved better. Not sure how having a go at AZ is having a go at the U.K., I’ve said consistently the U.K. have had a great roll out, AZ has been great for you guys, just rubbish for probably everyone else. AZ isn’t the U.K. it’s a drug company though I think you find it hard to distinguish the two. Sure an Irish lad was the head Oxford vaccine development team, I see the Queen gave him an honour during the week. You really need to relax the nationalistic stuff.

55% of Irish adults have had at least one Covid jab, Taoiseach says

Meanwhile, 377 new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed this evening

You may have a point but the Police are reasonably independent and yet he never seems to appear in court.....

Excellent, can you point me to an actual government website showing the data, not a political press release.....

Eh that’s the Taoiseach mate hes the head of the Government.

Our vaccine portal is down due to the significant cyber attack our health service has been through - I assume you know that, but I was told before I left work today it will be back next week, I will say this the figures I posted are conservative as GP administration figures have been rounded down as theit data has been slow coming in. You wouldn’t believe it’s been a nightmare here. We’ve been working without connectivity for 6 weeks, it’s been really challenging, but we’ve powered on. Thankfully the vaccine roll out was on a separate server and we didn’t miss a beat.

Its a good news story mate, that your country and mine are doing well! Be happy! ;)

Even the article you quoted had figures closer to mine than to your own. It’s pointless just exaggerating. Meanwhile just post the link to your vaccine portal and I’ll check it out when you get it working again...next week......
