One of the biggest frustrations from yesterday was that we were told that it’s a couple more months of lockdown-lite, but then everyone will go into tier 3 (but a modified version of tier 3, as the previous version would look well over the top if data continues the way it’s going). The main issue I have with it is that the tier system was never a route to normality, literally the best we could get was tier 0 and that was well off normality, so the updated tiers need to have an end point that is genuine normality. Tier 0 from the previous set up was pitched as “the closest to normality without vaccines”. Obviously that position will have to change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My arm was rather sore after first one so expecting it to drop off this time around. That would probably count as a work related injury so fingers crossed. On the hand of your non vaccinated arm, presumably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that the public have been able to handle nuance well at all in general - the clamour to take Boris’ dates as firm opening dates kind of shows that. Business owners are varied members of the public like anyone else, some sensible, some are not so sensible. We are currently justly experiencing a slowdown in vaccinations because of supply issues - it’s things like this that make giving firm dates a nightmare. Things happen. Aye it's the definitely public's fault for being too stupid to understand what the expert government officials have been trying to say to them all along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Spoke with somebody at work about if they were getting the vaccine or not. They said no, which found a bit surprising but apparently they are vegan and won't take it as it has been tested on animals... Any P&Bers abstaining on ethical grounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is fucking ludicrous and deserving of the Ad Lib treatment.

I had my first dose yesterday (AZ), and my left arm feels like it's just attached, not a functioning part of me. I'm glad I took a day's annual leave, because I think the 45 mile drive to work would have been problematic. Are you at a new prison?

I've posted in here being critical of the governments decision making and I've posted in the politics thread about the governments handling of the Salmond scandal... All of which is fair criticism of the government, you can be reductive and boil it down to me not liking the SNP if you'd like but I'll take your criticism on board and try and leave the politics aside even though it is a fundamental part of the whole discussion in which everybody else is quite rightly discussing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have several that works so there is really is no excuse for more shifty shifty goalposts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Further to that post, why are BAME more likely to decline it anyway?Probably because of all the lies going around that the vaccines contain pork, or other animal products, or aborted foetal cells etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Pfizer didn't tell them or any other government right up to the last minute that this was going to happen which is very possible. Pfizer were the first to distribute, they wouldn't want to look bad to their business rivals or the public or their shareholders, right at the start of the vaccination programs. I'm not going to post the supply table again, but a 40% drop in Pfizer supply during the entire month of February was noted in the SG's vaccine plan released on 13th January. It's complete revisionism to claim otherwise. To further show this, by the end of this week, the SG had forecasted to have received just shy of 1.7m doses, of which just over 1.5m have been used as of yesterday. There is no "unexpected" supply issue. Edited February 24, 2021 by Todd_is_God -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
