Well that wins the prize for the obscure side step of the day.

But back to vaccines - are any compulsory...anywhere ?

Yes, eg in US to attend public schools (with exemptions)

Eh ?????

...
I also wonder how they are going to produce enough of it within the time period, the UK has ordered 40 million units, the US is 6x bigger so that's potentially another 250 million, then there's all the other countries the world population topped 7.8 Billion earlier in the year.

For things like the flu jabs, the virus has to be incubated in hens eggs as part of the production process, which is why the WHO has to predict which strains will be important in the following winter in about January, to allow enough time.

I'm told by a friend who knows these things (an ex-microbiologist) that the Pfizer vaccine is based on mRNA, and can use a much, much faster production method.
So yes, still huge amounts of production needed, but it's not such a problem as it might have been had the flu-type method been required.

Not sure why you have singled out my post ? The question is for anyone to answer (as are all posts on forums - so I thought)

The smallpox vaccine was compulsory in England and Wales. The law was passed in 1853. So yes, there is precedent.

Plus right now, certain vaccines are mandatory for everyone in Croatia and Brazil as examples Of countries implementing this kind of policy.

Yeah,i'm ok about that. I wasn't after a verbal confrontation. I just wanted to clear things up.

So to conclude a couple of questions:-

...is the vaccine safe ?

....is Boris a CN. ....T bag

 

[Landsurfer]

The vaccine is 90% effective ..... (whatever effective means ...).
99.06% of those that test positive in the UK have no symptoms or make a full recovery from the illness.
The average age of those that die is higher than the UK average death age.
So why do we need the vaccine .. ?

90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

When was this? I can't see a date other than 'December'
And what was the outcome of the lawsuits, also doesn't say, just that they were filed

Gerald Ford was the president of the USA from December 1973 to August 1974. So sometime between these dates.
