Govt has given Pfizer protection from any legal action

[Jedi boro]

However in the race to release a vaccine were any additional short cuts taken

So once again despite Matt laying out the pros and cons and explaining why things have happened you come back with yes but...

Why are you so scared, this is a global ( not a Tory plot not a thing devised by central office) but a global vaccine that the entire world will take so where has this weird theory that it’s only so Boris and his pals can make money.

It’s nothing to do with them ITS GLOBAL!!!!

This is from us news - as they say they issue there is supply v demand an issue thankfully we don’t have due to the nhs.

- Americans have made no secret of their skepticism about Covid-19 vaccines, with fears of political interference and a "warp speed" timeline blunting confidence in the shots. As recently as September, nearly half of U.S. adults said they didn't intend to be inoculated.

But with two promising vaccines primed for release, likely within weeks, experts in ethics and immunization behavior say they expect attitudes to shift quickly from widespread hesitancy to urgent, even heated demand.

"People talk about the anti-vaccine people being able to kind of squelch uptake. I don't see that happening," Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccinologist with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told viewers of a recent JAMA Network webinar. "This, to me, is more like the Beanie Baby phenomenon — the attractiveness of a limited edition."

Zorro, you are making foolish assumptions there I am afraid. I never said I was scared, I never blamed any government or measured any criticism.

On the first point, I am not even sure I should bother to answer given your last reply to me, but I'll give it a go. My point was solely around the weights and measures applied after the vaccination was complete. Did this have the same dilligence applied as a vaccine that is not deemed part of the emergency use authorisation. I don't know and as far as I am aware that has never been published. Make this information front and center and put peoples minds at rest.

You're entitled to your opinion Zorro but don't patronise me. If you want to engage, keep a civil tone. This board is getting tetchier by the day and I am getting to the point where I will just start ignoring people which I don't really want to do. I welcome different points of view and find them interesting even if I don't agree with them. I'd like that to continue.

removed that one. Sure it would have upset someone.

Ive posted many times how this is fantastic news for these people. Its the scaremongerers (who arent these people and arent even due it) who I take issue with. Go ask someone who has been locked up for the year unable to see family and friends and ask their opinion on it. Its all well and good criticising (seemingly for political point scoring) when it doesnt affect you

I agree with you, it was the link to a junkie I thought was not relevant, fair play that you have removed it
