As soon as Boots* has it available to buy privately then unfortunately you are just going to have to cough up and pay for it.







*other pharmacies that give vaccinations are available.

They won't let you in if you're coughing.

Even if the vaccine is perfect, this govt will mean you will likely never receive it. More chance of them accidentally ordering rat poison instead.

The money will vanish into a series of new ltd companies. You know Boris's job is to drain the public purse into friends pockets, that's all he's there for.

Well maybe it’s not safe for them to go out into pubs when Covid is out there?

On the other hand it would be safeR for them to go out if pubs allow exceptions like them AND those with vaccine, either way those should be in form of nice digital ID via phone app.

Seems like cheaper approach than 40 bln on moonshot thingy

They won't spend 40 bln. A few juicy multi-million contracts to mates in big consultancies to look at feasibility and options, and it will be quietly dropped.

The establishment would then be done for disability discrimination.

There are some people on immunosuppression drugs who are advised not to have vaccinations as their immune systems don't function.".

Never-mind travel - pubs, restaurants might require it, and that would be good safe thing to have

There are some people on immunosuppression drugs who are advised not to have vaccinations as their immune systems don't function. These people rely on everyone else having vaccinations because they can't - proper herd immunity - and they are all ages.

However I suspect they will act like some of the people I heard who can't wear masks and tell the truth about their conditions rather than come out with tulip like "I have asthma".

It may be a case that some (all?) countries require proof of vaccine before you can travel to them (bit like the Yellow Fever cert). Quite simple then isn't it? Don't want to have the vaccine, then have a nice staycation for the rest of your life

There is one slight problem, the vaccine is manufactured in the EU and apparently after 31/12 Britain is no longer in the EU so there might be some problems in actually getting it into the country

Russian vaccine is better with 92% success rate

Funny how they did not say the rate back in August when they were first to “register” it

Obviously that’s because without 3rd stage trial (that they only doing now, if that) you would not know efficacy, so they waited till proper corp announces number that they can “exceed”.

Look at how PPE, Testing, Track and Trace, has been handled by Boris, Cummings and the civil service.

For the vaccine, £1trn will be transferred to a series of offshore, untraceable bank accounts in tax havens, controlled by the cousin of Tory donors and peers, via a ltd company setup a month ago.

Then everyone will wait and nothing will happen.
