COVID Vaccine !

Your most Gracious Doge, Czar of all Irkutsk and Uggle Barnby.

You are in this case indeed misinformed. Evidence was always strong that a single dose have good protection, and that staggering the doses might actually improve protection.

Thousands of lives have been saved as a result, and confirmation for the AZ vaccine that the efficacy improves with a spaced dose is now in the peer- reviewed literature. References can be provided should your Grace require it.

I remain your most obedient etc etc scrape bow etc etc please don't behead me for my insolence
I thank you, sir, for both indulging in my nonsensical shtick (laudanum? I hardly knew 'im!) and rebuffing my ignorance.
I will trust the fine minds of CC to correct you if you have misled me in this matter, I do not need to see references at this time.

Serene etc etc

I'm sure it's pure coincidence but a day after the finest minds of CycleChat elected me as leader of The New Republic of Whatever This Country Will Be Called I got the letter confirming that I'd be getting my first inoculation in 9 days' time. I wouldn't have categorised myself in a vulnerable group as my health complication is both minor and successfully controlled by medication.

As an upstanding leader (behold my noble visage and ducal finery) I will of course do my patriotic duty next week and accept Mr. Gates' wundermachines. I wonder which flavour of nanoprobes they'll give me.

I get mine on Saturday despite being not in the correct age group, although I do have asthma.

Does Mr Gates' chip cause the 'blue screen of death' his Windows software offers?

That at least is understandable, as it's a respiratory condition.
If my epilepsy were more serious form or uncontrolled I'd say "yeah that's legit", but even at its worst I've never fully lost consciousness. I guess the system isn't capable of triaging people at that level of granularity.

As for Mr. Gates' finest, Windows these days is a very stable operating system; Blue Screens of Death are almost always caused by hardware failure or incompatible drivers.
I understand that the main effect of his nanoprobes is that the inoculated person keeps trying to convince others to set Edge as their default web browser and Bing as their search engine. Resistance is futile.

Given I've had an 'episode' in the past year where the doctor put me on the powerful medication rather than the standard stuff when I get ill I'm guessing that, despite not being hospitalised, it pushed me up the list. The numbers I put out on my breathing test kit were under half the normal score, so I wasn't well.

Basically I'd raced on the Friday at Manchester, TT'd Saturday in Leicestershire (down the A46 in cold damp conditions), tried to train at Manchester on Sunday evening, then keeled over and it turned out I'd got a lung infection following a heavy cold a couple of weeks before.

The doctor, who's usually polite and nice, responded to me when I said I'd pop down to the pharmacy to collect the meds with "Can you just behave for once. Which bit of 'do not leave your house' don't you understand? Get someone else to fetch your medication or you're the dimwit* I think you are." :ohmy:

* Note: I think she used the f word instead of dim, but I was probably struggling to breathe at the time.

We are outside the EU. If not positive, [Italy blocking vaccines export to Australia] looks completely understandable from here and I bet gov.uk would do similar if the positions were reversed.
"Completely understandable from here"! Depends on your comprehension level, I suppose.
I bet the UK Government would do no such thing.
Thank you for giving another example of "let me be clear" preceding misdirection! Have any vaccines been exported from the UK? If not, there was no opportunity to exercise control over them and saying it hasn't happened is not the same as saying it wouldn't happen.
"misdirection!" I shared the word of the President (EU)
"Have any vaccines been exported from the UK?" No idea. Let us know after you've made the effort to find out. But I will have a stab and say 'yes'. (And I'm not counting vaccines sent out for trials recently.)
"If not, there was no opportunity to exercise control over them and saying it hasn't happened is not the same as saying it wouldn't happen." You're quite right: it's "not the same" and I didn't say that there'd been no opportunity to block vaccine exports. In fact I linked to the UK export-drugs-and-medicines-special-rules which would allow the UK to do this, as a sovereign nation.
Let me be crystal clear: I'm saying that 'UK Government banning the export of vaccines' hasn't happened (and the UK Government appears pretty clear on that). I have suggested previously that I think it most unlikely ("I bet" - see quote above) that the UK Government would ban the export of vaccines. In fact I suggest that the UK sends a plane load to Australia asap (and another across the Irish Sea, to augment the paucity of supply Ireland is getting from the Union Commission).

A European commission spokesperson conceded on Wednesday that the UK had not imposed a ban, following the allegation made by the European council president, Charles Michel, on Tuesday.
Michel tweeted on Tuesday night: “Glad if the UK reaction leads to more transparency and increased exports to EU and [other] countries. Different ways of imposing bans or restrictions on vaccines/medicines.”
Saying 'I was wrong' is so hard to do.

The Oxford one seems to be the flavour of the day for this Saturday round these parts. I'm due mine at 09:40, the same day.
 
Dunno but it doesn’t sound like Mr Michel is being exactly open either, personally I don’t believe anything on Twitter. Why do officials post stuff on Twitter, can’t they write more than 140 letters or whatever it is?
Twitter is full of utter shoot

And re-posting it avoids having to come up with anything original..........or think.

Brother is a dentist, He had two young dental nurses refusing to have the jab. Nothing he could do about it TBH - puts the practice at risk from close down. Anyway, both have come under pressure from their own families, as they are putting the rest of their family at risk - their parent's have told them. Both now jabbed.

Social Media is the pits in my opinion.
