Germany buying flu vaccines in bulk

[Whorty]

Why would they stockpile last years vaccines? Pharmaceutical buying decisions are taken months in advance. Doh!

"Companies will have forecasted production based on expected demand several months in advance and will be unlikely to have significant reserves of products if not alerted"

So what will have happened is Germany tells AZ or GSK now that they want to purchase XXX more of 2020/2021 vaccine.

Fair enough. To be honest, your posts bore me so I don't tend to read them. Just read the article and it is referring to the next flu season's vaccines. I don't know what Germany normally do wrt flu vaccines, but I'm not aware that we have a shortage of vaccines in the UK so why do you think we'd need to stockpile more, and why do you think we need to buy more vaccines?

This thread does pose the questions though ... why does someone who doesn't live in Germany and hence is not impacted by what Merkel et al do, and doesn't live in the UK hence is not impacted by what BoJo et al do, give a fook? Why not look at what the Portuguese are doing and see if this triggers you?

Nothing else to see here ... it's a non-story from an insignificant troll.

I'll leave you to think through the significance of this thread. But I have no hope of your doing so.
As for "insignificant troll" that's a good description of your classic "Covid is no great shakes" thread, which I can't even bother to dig out.
Mince will be mince I suppose.

Which part? Did you not know that the flu virus evolves?

Don't bother - we're cretins, remember?

How can we forget? Because predictably as ever you cretins keep digging however your asinine your assertions. Try reading the posts that followed the one you quote.

Somebody do me a favour and reply to whatever drivel the village idiot posted above so I can have another good laugh.

If only your parents had thought about that...

Its obvious you can't do without my posts. Ask someone with more brains than you (i.e. almost anyone) how to un-ignore

Well the SNP have been quick off the mark according to a letter Ive just recieved here in East Kilbride the COVID19 vaccine which was in fact nicked from a lab in Oxford by the SNP much to Boris's chargin will be dispensed gratis by a fleet of council daleks - and next year COVID20 and thereafter COVID21 etc ad infinitum... unsure if you can select which microchip you would like - or perhaps leave that to the daleks discretion.

Well then - there you have it,

Oh - before i go - remember boys and girls - you can't be too careful these days. ..
