KingswellsRed Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To me, offered means has already had an appointment by the deadline, not has received a letter for an appointment beyond the deadline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Do people realise the guy running the Politics For All account isn't actually writing the stories? He's just collating them from various sources and tweeting them? I genuinely think some posters on here think it's him writing them.

Left Back Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 10 minutes ago, Snafu said: Is it not 8 weeks or more for the full benefits of being vaccinated? Some people can't follow simple instructions. I don't think anyone really knows what the "best" interval is. Manufacturers advice was 3 weeks and that's what's being followed by much of the world. We initially started with 3 weeks then changed to 12 weeks (which is a move that was viewed as a gamble but some studies showed it increased the antibody levels) to get more people single jagged but then changed it to 8 in a flap over the Delta variant to try and get more people double jagged. Seems like the changes to interval have been changed to suit the flap at the time rather than a determination of what the most effective interval is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If the target was all 40-49 year olds to be fully vaccinated by yesterday then it would've been impossible without ignoring the JCVI since only 83.4% had their 1st dose 8 weeks ago. 76.6% had their 2nd dose by yesterday so this scandal that Scottish Labour are going on about is about 6.8% of 40-49 year olds not having their 2nd dose bang on 8 weeks after their 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no issue with the SNP saying they’ve offered it to everyone so the target is met (although I do believe, like the Tories, they are partly responsible for the uptake numbers) as the only alternative is forced vaccination which gets a bit dodgy for me. However it’s definitely funny that nobody on here will mention the identical SNP and Tory stance, despite criticising the latter. 2 minutes ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Nonsense, but if you want to go down that line to protect Marshmallo from criticism then crack on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There is clearly an issue with first doses at the moment across the UK - the numbers are tiny. I'm sure that the recent case level will have had an impact particularly given the age groups affected, but perhaps the ceiling isn't far off. The failure to offer benefits of being vaccinated can't be helping either. Can you go on holiday? Yes, if the government agrees your destination is safe. You'll still be needing at least two tests, through. And at any minute, the government can screw you, even going so far as inventing new categories of restriction to hit you with. Been pinged? We'll you'd best be isolating then, whether you're ill or not. Unless you are a critical worker, in which case you might not have to. This is being addressed in a few weeks time, but it is an issue now. I can only hope that the nonsense about vaccine passports is some cynical attempt to increase uptake and nothing else. Classic punish everyone tactics, which it must be noted the Leader of the Opposition thinks isn't strict enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This week's figures for England will be very important. 7 to 10 days on from 'freedom day' if the cases can stay on the downward trajectory then we can officially tell Prof Ferguson to f**k the f**k off.
