Yeah, London was a shitfest today, walked past one park where a group of 40/50 middle aged knuckledgrggers were having a whale of a time blasting out punk and drinking Carling.

 

I had to get the Overground today and it was loaded with groups on their way out, felt like a bank holiday.

 

East and West were bad.

 

I dread to think what the weekend will be like.

I assume the real issue here was they were drinking Carling.

Oxford/AZ have got a huge PR problem. They’re the only ones selling vaccines at cost price, yeah?

Yeah, I think they're just a couple of quid each and the others are like double and triple that price. J&J though is probably the best value as you also need only to roll it out once.

They make a different flu vaccine every year for the same reason. This isn't unexpected or some big deal. 

The health people here were talking everyone would need a new jab about every 3-4 years and not annually like the flu, although they expected the vaccine itself maybe updated more than that. Also we don't give the flu vaccine for everyone. Finally they believe (at least at this point) that covid is more transmissible than flu, so if this current set of jabs will only provide a year's worth of protection, I think it's probably quite a big deal.

No one knows how fast it will continue mutating. It's all random. The point is, it's not uncommon or unexpected that they'd have to update a vaccine on a yearly or so basis.

Had mine this morning, was Pfizered. 5 hours later and apart from a sore arm there's not much else to report. Yet.

Anyone on Team Pfizer experience anything more than a slightly sore arm?

for sure i think they expect to have to change the vaccine. what i am pretty sure of (the UK anyway), is we had no plans to vaccinate everyone every year - which i think is the point of that previous post. if we end up down that path, it's going to be a fucking nightmare. although i was listening to a podcast recently where the researchers behind the AZ vaccine said they were working on being able to deliver it in tablet form - which would obviously be fucking brilliant if they could.

Nothing. I had mine in the middle of my shift and was able to just carry on with my day. Both times. As you say slightly sore arm but that was it.

I'd take Vladimir Putin's schlong if it meant I didn't have to wear a muzzle ever again.

2.8 million dead (about half of a holocaust) and you can't be bothered to wear something which might help. What a terrible inconvenience for you it must be, having to wear this horribly restrictive garment. For ten cunting minutes.  I'm surprised you make it out of the shop alive, brave little soldier. There there, mummy will give you a menthol when you get home to help you restore your breath.  

 

I seriously hate you, you gigantic fucking twat.

Yep, 3 days later was a lost day, couldn't keep my head up, couldn't focus on anything, didn't eat or drink a thing. 

Went to bed early and slept for 12 hours something I hadn't done since my teens.

Got up and was right as rain.

Hardly any reaction to the 2nd jab which I had on Friday. 

[SasaS]

Masks. He couldn't take it any longer.

Well, you are a hateful little man, as evidenced by your crass comparison between old people dead from natural causes and the industrial murder of ethnic minorities, so that's not surprising.

 

I wear a mask when required by law to do so, so it's not a case of not being bothered to wear one.

 

Nevertheless, I don't like wearing a mask, so I will do whatever I can to speed things back to normal.

 

You seem to be abusing me simply because I don't like wearing a mask, which is frankly weird. But then you are, frankly, weird.

Thanks for your kind reply, it's always interesting to get a different perspective even if we don't agree.

 

Blow it out of your fucking arse, dickhead.

When I catch the person who said TK's name three times into the mirror, I'm going to wring their neck.

Haha apparently the second on is Hyde Park in Leeds. It just shows two things that up and down the country not only do we have selfish ignorant cunts but selfish ignorant littering scruffy cunts. 

I work over the road from there, it has been packed everytime there has been a bit of sunshine.

Apparently the excuse for leaving the litter was because the police evacuated it at 8pm as 8 men in balaclavas turned up to attack a bloke with a machete.

Not sure what the excuse is the rest of the time

Bastards. 

 

 

 

Fucking hell just gone to check what I need to take for my first jab later and its tomorrow night not today. Good job I checked.

There’s nothing like slipping back in the back door and keeping and low profile for a while. And that was nothing like..

Say what you will about violent criminals, but at least they abide by laws on face coverings.

More on the vaccines discussion and UK's potential vulnerability. 

 

"Professor Hill, director of Oxford’s Jenner Institute where his colleague Professor Sarah Gilbert led the search for the AstraZeneca jab, told i that vaccine development was being held back because “the UK is very weak on manufacturing vaccines”.

“The real problem in the UK is we don’t have much industry doing vaccines,” he said.

Although the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline is the world’s largest vaccine company by revenue, “none of that stuff is done in the UK,” he said. “It’s done in Belgium, where they are headquartered for vaccines, the US and Italy, so that is terrible, it really is."
