I realise I am interrupting a truly intellectual debate between backrow and the Irish but I was interested to hear today that two UK based factories (GSK) have started producing Novavax vaccine shots ahead of expected regulatory approval. worried that the reg approval might take a few months yet, b...

Test and trace. I’m not taking a test if I’m not ill, and nobody I’ve been in contact with is showing symptoms either. Bt you're happy to risk someone else's health/life by not taking the test !!

Why are our Irish step-cousins forgetting the relationship we have with their country and how it benefits them far more than us. Given the flow of people between the two it would make sense if the UK helps as it seems their Federalist Government is unable to at this time. Vaccinating Irish citizens...

He's doing it for Northern Ireland. If we lag too far behind, we're going to be sending infected people across the border. We have an open land border with Ireland, makes sense that once we ease restrictions, we won't be sending any virus to eire. And there is the cynical reason: Give the vaccines ...

If we have 80%+ immunised we don't have a pandemic. We don't know that for sure yet... but let's not worry too much about whether that can be achieved. Let's instead look at the question of how we will know we've reached 80%? Some sort of, oh I dunno... f**king passport? I'm not talking about an in...

Not signing a contract because you don't think you can meet it comes under common sense/good management/being cautious. Hardly due to how EU/AZ are behaving. I suspect the EU want a defined delivery schedule not "best efforts". No one's happy when you can't meet an expected delivery schedule in any...

The Vunipola's are both the answer and the problem for me. Take out those 2, who is a consistent carrier in the pack? Curry, George, Sinckler from the current crop. Lawes and Underhill can make yards. Then you've got to assume if Billy is replaced, it's by either DomB or Simmonds - both can carrry....

This thread is interesting in how it shows how quickly relationships can deteriorate once discussions are wrapped in the flags of nationalism. A global pandemic has become a cock size competition, which slowly degenerates into an almost hateful debate. Politicians, keen to hide their flaws behind t...

Great, so are you going to also stop insinuating we give our vaccines to the EU now? The UK has arguably led the world in the fight against the virus and I'm sure we will continue to do even more once we have attended to our citizens first. I'm going to continue to defend the EU looking after their...

So, the EU formally blocks vaccine exports Wow..just wow. This won't end well. It's emblematic of their poor negotiating skills that they weren't able to get a deal done without actually going nuclear. What?

An appalling question to ask of someone who is defending the UK and attacking the EU for asking that exact question? Yes it's personal not related at all to Governmental shenanigans.

In reality I think politicians are mentioning "new" as it detracts from their current situations. You don't have to find an angle for everything.

So, it doesn't breach the Nuremberg code (even though the Nuremberg code was never intended to cover a situation like this).

It's a sensible requirement. No jab, no job within aged care homes. It is not sensible to breach the Nuremberg Code. Why restrict compulsory vaccination to care home staff?

Anyway - I don't think the EU will impose an export ban on vaccines. There's too many countries that are against it - and, with global supply chains, such a ban could become counter productive, as well as extremely poor publicity for the EU.

The fact you think you're capable of being objective on this matter is cute. Two separate legal threats both just a lot of hot air.

I'm not going to get into an analysis of the contract, that's up to the courts, but just to be clear, a quick glance at that link mentions 'UK stock'.
