Originally posted by Mordac View PostI'll take the vaccination (I have a needle phobia so vaccinations are a very big deal) but I'll insist a qualified nurse delivers it. I'm not having someone who's just been made redundant from the local Kwik-Fit stab me in the arm only to turn round and ask what happens when part of the needle doesn't come out.
Unfortunately, due to the government's underfunding and privatisation steps with the NHS, we're short of around 40,000 nurses - that's excluding ones that would be needed to work the Nightingales.
But you'll get what you vote for.
How much will you be happy to pay for the jab?
How much extra would you pay for the jab for it to come from a suitably qualified nurse?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Depends on a lot of factors, say which vaccine is used (mRNA based or the 3rd world one), if the nurse could speak French language, whether there is complimentary champagne and proper beluga black caviar, choice of uniforms etc.Originally posted by WTFH View PostHow much will you be happy to pay for the jab?

Yes by end of the 2021 there will be very very good short term data on it. Long term might take decades though who knows. Especially if incidence of whatever issues are relatively low.Originally posted by AtW View PostmRNA is about to become very well tested (at least short term risks)Comment

Strangely, I don't find that very reassuring...Originally posted by jayn200 View PostIntra muscular injections are very easy to do, I assume that's what it will be. You could show someone how to do it in 5 minutes.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
