Alister Jack offers Nicola Sturgeon UK Govt help with vaccine rollout amid criticism of 'stuttering' pace in Scotland

This is great work by the UK government.

What do you expect countries to do though? Most countries are going to look after their populations first before donating vaccines to others. At the moment there's a servere lack of vaccinations even in wealthy countries.

Macron de facto runs Europe now. The Germans have issues with the successor to Angela So should Macron resign for the vaccine debacle rather than VDL? No VDL could end up resigning. Or we just move on and all this will be forgotten in weeks Wishful thinking. There will be lasting damage. If the EU ...

Wishful thinking. There will be lasting damage. If the EU try to take the moral high ground in the future, they will be reminded of all the terrible decisions this week. From the lads who threatened to send the navy after fishing boats. :lol: Well the frenchies did threaten to steal our fish ;)

That's fantastic that they are planning to sell at cost price. I hope other manufacturers will follow suit. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines seem very expensive and no way the poor countries will able to afford them.

Is the J&J vaccine being sold at cost price? Any idea how much it will cost? This is the list of what the EU is paying per dose (Tweeted about a month ago by the Belgium minister): Oxford/AstraZeneca: €1.78 (£1.61). Johnson & Johnson: $8.50 (£6.30). Sanofi/GSK: €7.56. Pfizer/BioNTech: €12. CureVac:...

Apart from the Oxford/AZ vaccine, are there any other vaccines that are/will be sold at cost price so the poor nations can afford them? If it's just the AZ vaccine, it's pretty sad.

Yeah I meant half of the total poulation. Reckon we can get there by early March given the current rate? Obviously if there are issues with vaccine production/delivery, then that will slow things down. Hopefully EU won't interfere with our orders.

I’ve been confident that once the vunerable and healthcare have been jabbed we're in the game, but they can’t announce it or a big chunk of people would give up now. Especially younger people getting vaccinated. I always thought they'd need a good chunk of the population (say half) vaccinated first...

It seems the idiots in your beloved EU that don't understand the difference between the UK and AZ who are selling the vaccines at cost price. They are a mafia.

That article is very relevant to this thread.

TranceNRG

Going after AZ who are doing a superb job for the world against this virus is crazy. Getting all legalistic and bureaucratic is the opposite of what EU should be doing. They should ask for ideas from AZ on what is needed to expand production, ask for UK and other country assistance..... You can't s...

Agreed they made a mistake with regard to AstraZeneca. We all make mistakes . Time to move on. Both the EU and UK. Poit is they are not moving on. They are making the situation worse.

My partner works in the ICU of a West London hospital and she told me that a lot of the patients admitted to the ICU in the last few weeks were younger than the patients in the first wave. So yeah Dragster's comment appears to be correct.

It was a decent enough idea. There is no point in fighting the pandemic if there is no economy to go back too. I think it would be insensitive of me to debate the point with you. Let's just say I thought it was far too early to be encouraging people to flock back to bars and pubs. At the time all h...
