Unfortunately true. I saw Staines gloating with delight on Twitter last week because a few nursing home residents died from Covid a couple of days after getting their first vaccine dose. Like "hooray, the vaccines don't work, we'll need to do ZeroCovid instead".

Similar from both sides, as soon as a case pops up in new Zealand the other side are saying 'see zerocovid doesn't work'

Impressive for the USA, 4.6m vaccinations in one day. If they kept that up they’d have their population vaccinated in 10ish weeks.

Sure they won't need the AZ vaccine at this rate

You stay away for 16 hours and come back and surprise surprise. More bad news about AZ, there was one coming out of Italy the other day. The Italian military are refusing it now because some of them never felt well the next day. That is the army for God's sake.

UK stats:

13 cases of blood clots with AZ.

15 with Pfizer/BioNtech.

No chance of Pfizer being stopped. If people were growing an extra arm from the top of the head it would be grand.

There was a change in methodology the resulted in some of Sunday's doses being counted.

True number for Saturday was about 2.98m, which is still incredibly impressive (nearly 1.5% of their adult population).

It's not that it doesn't work but it's a very difficult strategy to implement and there are no guarantees to it. It's a whole lot easier being isolated like them. You could almost imagine the Irish reaction to lockdown number 28 for a single case!

If it is on Twitter, it should be easy to prove.

Otherwise it is trolling to claim anyone is gloating over people dying.

Which is it?

Dunno about gloating but he definitely tried to use the deaths to push Zero Covid

Clicking through to the article says that all deaths happened within a few days of the first dose, too soon for the vaccine to work. And he's qualified enough to know that, just chose not to mention that part.

Sure why let facts get in the way of one's agenda?

That’s what you’re up against. Even certain posters have used this article but fail to mention the jabs were only just administered. People will use anything to promote their desperate agenda.

You claimed he was gloating with delight though. That tweet is not gloating with delight at someone's death.

Are you going to retract that remark?

I don't think they will use AZ vaccine at all over there, they're just stockpiling it as a fallback incase their other supplies fall short. Hopefully they'll let AZ ship them to the EU like asked. If the Trump administration did this there would be people losing their minds about it

Yeah fine I'll retract the gloating at the deaths bit.

This is no criticism of the home but I'd have hit the phone assuming the boxes had another homes name on them and arrange a pick up so it didn't go to waste.

Yeah the home at fault the management In the place is absolutely useless would make government look great in comparison, there was enough vaccines for 30 residents totally wasted!

If for some reason I needed to get a covid vaccine I think AZ would be last on my list

Too much smoke now about it

Just out of interest, what should he be using to push zero covid? Surely it's the whole point, deaths can be avoided with zero covid. He's done nothing wrong here at all.

Italy's Piedmont region has temporarily suspended AstraZeneca shots joining Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Ireland in suspending the use of the vaccine.

Hopefully the results of the investigation into the Norway deaths is published urgently over the coming days.

They never articulate just how they are going to guarantee the outcome let alone how they propose to keep everyone locked up for another six months. It's way too late to change strategies now.

fits

I’d take it too.

I can see the surgery from my window. I'd be there in less than a minute if I was offered the AZ jab!
I don't think it would effect my confidence in AZ. But obviously the deaths need to be investigated.

The first aim is the elimination of the risk of serious disease. If you get a "head cold" there's no issue.

No specific numbers, but this article suggest Pfizer will be delivering more volume to the EU than planned and will make up for Astra supply issues

Mad how positive people suddenly are about big pharma! It helps when a company knows what they are doing!

NI asked MHRA for an update given the suspension here.

MHRA statement
"We are aware of the action in Ireland. We are closely reviewing reports but given the large number of doses administered, and the frequency at which blood clots can occur naturally the evidence available does not suggest the vaccine is the cause."
