As of February 5th, the UK had vaccinated 510,057 people.  (It takes two doses)

"It is known that the immune response to 1 dose of the vaccine is relatively weak, even though people who got their first dose had some protection against symptomatic COVID-19 infection. It is not known what will happen if people get only 1 dose."

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776229

A single standard dose of vaccine provided 76% protection overall against symptomatic covid-19 in the first 90 days after vaccination with protection not falling in this time frame. It is not clear, however, how long protection might last with a single dose as there were too few cases after 90 days to make any meaningful judgment.

The vaccines minister has told Sky News he is "confident" the UK will hit its "tough target" of offering everybody over 50 a coronavirus jab by May.  Speaking to Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Nadhim Zahawi said that at one point on Saturday, the UK was administering COVID-19 jabs at a rate of almost 1,000 per minute.

I saw a bizarre report on BBC news today.  They were promoting people who go walking and jogging late at night and they showed quite a large gathering of people holding lamps and walking up a country path and people jogging passed them late at night and how the trend is growing in popularity during the lockdown.  The BBC were actually promoting the idea and laughing about how fresh the air smelled at night.  I found the whole concept totally bizarre.  I thought we were supposed to be in a national lockdown?  Isn't there a curfew at 8pm?  As far as I remember there was in January here in N. Ireland.  How can it possibly be a good idea to go for a walk late at night in winter during a lockdown?

10 years in prison for going on holiday? Nigel Farage reacts.
 

we have a serious problem - not with the virus - but with the government behaving like  dictators - 

looks like only people with a lot of money will be able to go on holiday abroad from now on - and I wonder if all the expensive 10 day quarantine rules will apply to business people and politicians... ?..... or rich people travelling on their private jets...?

 Something tells me they won't...

Those who had the right to vote held the power (the ruling classes, the nobility, Barons, Lords etc...) something like 10% of the population had the right to vote, then over time more of the population got to vote, no longer just the ruling classes, but business men, then all men followed by women in the 1920's. until eventually everyone over the age of 21 had the right to vote which meant the ruling classes had lost all that power they once had, and its said ever since then all the measures are employed to regain the original power and influence they once had over the population. such as control through taxation and liberty and during these times under the terrorism act and now covid legislation. they seem to be limiting the 'lower classes' - lets not forget powers taken by the Govt during World War 1 and World War 2 where never fully relinquished. and neither will powers taken under covid. - and those who today are making the decisions if we turned the clock back 300years would've been in the 10% of the population who had the right to vote.

thanks Steve - there appears to be another world war in progress.... a very different kind of war .....
one that no one even realizes is happening..

the 'little people' - the 'lower classes' - the working class - more or less everyone except the Global Elite - are under attack but it's being done as if it's for everyone's good by people who care - the lie is so big and it's so Orwellian that it is hard to see at first -

UK economy suffers deepest annual slump since 1709

The chancellor says his priority remains protecting jobs as official figures showed the coronavirus crisis had dealt the worst blow to the economy since the Great Frost of 1709.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said early estimates, subject to revision, suggested that gross domestic product (GDP) tumbled by 9.9% in 2020.

It was a consequence of large parts of the economy being placed in hibernation through unprecedented lockdowns and other restrictions on normal activity as efforts to contain COVID-19 took their toll on output.

I was preparing for far worse as they were forecasting a 22% drop in GDP. but it turns out to be 9.9% - and we know this figure will be revised down further.

Its worth reminding people we were also told Brexit was going to be a total disaster with an annual impact of 0.53% GDP. - Disaster Brexit of 0.53% now looks like a rounding error when compared to 9.9% GDP. Covid as exposed the forecasted Brexit disaster to be another lie.

while im here.

This is a crying shame, clearly now lives are being lost in Ireland in the name of political unity.

On another point, The Remainer/Rejoiners European Europhiles don't like the UK doing well, and especially when we compare ourselves to them. so how about comparing them to the USA.

Vaccinated.

  • 13% USA. 44Million people.
  • 4.1% EU.  18Million people.

and the News today Canada is now facing delays in Vaccine exported from the EU. with one EU MEP telling Canada to get on the phone to Joe Biden.

Quote

 

OTTAWA—Moderna’s delivery of Covid-19 vaccines to Canada has hit delays because the company has encountered problems with its European supply chain and restrictions on exports of vaccine supplies, the Star has learned.

A senior federal source with knowledge of the file said Moderna is trying to source the material needed to produce its vaccine, and to meet demand for materials needed to package the vaccines. The source said the company’s own supply for materials has been affected by the European Union’s attempt to control how much material is exported before its member states are supplied with vaccine.

Asked about feasible vaccine delays, German MEP Peter Liese told CBC very last night that the Canadian authorities should really ‘pick [up] the phone and simply call Joe Biden’.

1 the only reason we haven't felt the impact of the 9.9% drop is because of massive government borrowing - it will have to be paid back, even with that jobs have been lost and people are surviving on 4/5th income levels

On 25 November, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR),  estimated that borrowing would be £394bn for the current financial year (April 2020 to April 2021).

That's the highest figure ever seen outside wartime.

To put that into context, before the crisis, the government was expecting to borrow about £55bn for the whole financial year.

22% prediction was  in regard to the first lockdown, the year as a whole was predicted to be about 10 or 11%

As it is the decline of 9.9% is the worst in the G7

2 We will have a rough idea of the impact of Brexit economically in May when we get 1st quarter figures including export figures. But if Brexit is having a negative impact on GDP the government will find it more difficult to finance, as covid has blown a hole in its war chest.

Do not take my name in vain, I've got better things to do than to read your copypasta. 

And don't worry so much about the EU, mind you own local transmission of disease, because British mutation of COVID is currently the worst problem we've got, because of irresponsible behaviour of your government. 

But it's not a particular waste after all that the British company AstraZeneca is not delivering their vaccine on time outside the UK, since that vaccine is not as efficient as others, particularly against the new strains. 

 

Now go isolate yourself. Sheesh. You've been painfully sociable since Brexit.

Brexit worst case scenario 0.53% GPD. Annually. If we accept this figure for a moment as being actual. Then it's impact will be truly lost in the 9.9%. Covid impact. 

You keep going on about Q1 figures. Quite how your going to truly distinguish between covid and brexit is beyond me. And even if you can brexit will not even be 1% of the covid impact. 

The only hole that's been blown, is through project fear. 

On the overall economy. We are a £2.6Trillion economy. A colossus. And we can service our debts.

Japan as been running at an average of 163% of GDP since the end of WWII and today its over 230,% GDP. Japan is the world's 3rd largest economy. 

let this just sink in, repeat it a few times. We are twice the size of the Russian Federation. 

We've been out the the worlds top 6 of economies twice since records began.

IMF has forecast UK growth for this year 5.9%. No doubt it'll be down graded sightly. The UK has diversified its economy and perfectly placed ourselves in the market where 90% of growth is happening. 

The amount of inward and foreign investment is huge. The economy is primed. 

You do not conduct 65 trade deals excluding the 27 EU, have 4 FTA's ongoing. And a massive £100bn trade agreement on the table with India. And another £110bn in CPTPP. These countries haven't signed up to twiddle their thumbs. 

The inward and foreign investment is huge. The economy is primed. Light that touch paper. 

I'm truly terrified of what's going to happen to this country as a result. Its going to be like sitting on the nose cone of a Saturn V rocket. 

One has to get up off the couch and become a part of it.

Erm Helen, hello, your the last one believing that rubbish you know. 

Your President Ursual as even admitted. 

And the WHO backs the British vaccine. They recommend it for all adults. And against all variants as it stops serious illness and hospitalisation. And guess what Oxford vaccine for all variants will be ready by August. Let the EU know so they can order early this time. 

WHO recommends vaccine and agrees with 8 to 12 weeks between shots.

There's only one logical explanation why you so desperately want me involved, and that is that you want this thread locked because it's counterproductive for you, bearing in mind British vaccine is not as effective against the British strain of COVID as everyone hoped it will be and the British strain of COVID is the direct consequence of your political option's irresponsible attitude towards public health.

 

So let's remind everyone that you were blaring all over the site that natural herd immunity should be achieved faster by letting SARS-2 (virus that causes COVID-19 disease) spread uncontrolled, that children are immune to it so they can work in the fields instead of dirty immigrants, that vitamin D cures COVID-19 and so on. 

Now you're suddenly interested in vaccines, forgetting you were practically an anti-vaxer, now you're yapping there's a vaccine race to be won against the rest of the world, not together with it. 

 

AstraZeneca, British-Swedish company, that was financed by the EU generally (more than 2 billion Euros) and also by Sweden (not sure how much they invested in total before they stopped financing AZ for its unsavory business practice) refused to keep their part of the contract and discriminated against non-British buyers of their vaccine. That is the official EU stance that was not disproved, it was if fact proven by the additional increase of doses to be delivered by AZ, after the inspections in AZ facilities started and the contract was made public. 

The silver lining is that though it was a financial loss for defrauded countries, not receiving the paid for vaccine from a British company on time turned out to be not a particular waste, because of effectiveness of their vaccine that may easily be seen as disappointing.  

AZ vaccine is not recommended for seniors and it's not effective against South African strain of COVID, also not quite as efficient as other vaccines against the British strain. 

Still better than nothing, of course, and I hope their new modifications will get the new strains too. I keep my fingers crossed for AZ too.

But the vultures who paint their company's inability to fulfill the contract as the failure of the EU, which financed that company to make irony almost unbearable... is there the bottom low enough and illogical enough for you?  

 

Seriously, who bases their future on the premise they'll scam and defraud the world, more than once, proving they won't mind denying you vaccine (!) if it means some propaganda advantage for them?

You still don't understand how much you screwed up with this vaccine ****show, huh? At least you understand now just how much you screwed up with sacrificing the weak for the herd immunity that did not ****ing come to pass. As anyone sane and not sociopath was telling you. 

 

Painting the supposedly common human goal of vaccinating against COVID as some sort of race to be won, against the artificially created enemy, is a disgustingly hostile propaganda show anyone sane would be ashamed of.

It's double disgusting because you're trying to use that grotesque propaganda vaccine race to bury your country's initial criminal lack of response to pandemic.

And it's also not a way to eradicate COVID, because your ****ing vaccine is not effective enough against your ****ing strain. And no vaccine is effective enough against such lively mutating virus unless the measures are applied parallel with the vaccines. 

 

Vaccines are most welcome tool against COVID, but they're not the magical solution. For example, Serbia has one of the best numbers in vaccinating, but at the same time their newly infected numbers are increasing, probably leading in more strict anti-epidemic measures again. 

Vaccinating is not the reason to behave like idiots did before they realized that COVID-19 is in fact killing people and doesn't spare those who deny it. Distance, hygiene and masks are still necessary, or the vaccines won't be able to follow the rate at which new strains will keep popping up.

 

There. 

Happy now?

Maybe it wasn't a conscious intention on your part to have the thread you find awkward for your political option murdered by my humble participation, maybe you just need to hear every single day just how mindbogglingly stupid I find Brexit and every further stupidity it has spawned too. Including the new strain of COVID. 

Though, virus is not stupid, it is just a primitive, adaptable (woe to us) semi-life form. What is your excuse? 

 

Go away now and eat more pork, I was just reading that it's another thing you've got rotting undelivered to the EU, because you wanted out of the single market so you can decide upon your own rules. I hope you like them. Because no one else does and there's zero ****ing reason why anyone would go against their own interest, just to give you the unfair advantage. Who did you think you are, exactly? 

And wash your hands. The virus mutation history proves you're not doing it often enough.
