    You'd have to think eventually the efficacy of a vaccine will be the determining factor rather than whether it has been approved for use in a particular region in terms of vaccine passporting, not least because a lot of approval depends on whether something is going to be or can practically be used in a region (ie the Indian made one isn't approved in Europe as they don't have any and there are no plans to have any). You never know though, bureaucracy gonna bureaucracy. The stupid thing about the Indian made AZ stuff is that some of it has been used in the UK, but I believe all UK administered AZ vaccines show up as the approved type (whatever they call it) on the documentation for EU purposes.

    I'm sure it's been mentioned in here but I did lol a bit to myself the other week when Frau Merkel had her second jab of a different sort (even though by her own country's guidance she'd have been fine having another AZ) and all the talk was about how these mixed vaccines might actually provide better, more long lasting protection. Remember what was said when whoever it was said about mixing months ago? Bit of a change of tone now that our European overlords are on board with the idea. Dangerous madness I believe was the reportage, turned out to be another piece of inspired brilliance by the JCVI.

    This shit about production locations is beyond idiotic.

    Firstly, the Serum Institute of India is an absolute powerhouse for vaccine production. It ain't some backwater shit hole we're talking about here.

    Secondly, it shouldn't matter at all whether or not a traveller to your country has a vaccine approved by your local regulator. If you take that road we're are going to be tying ourselves in knots. If you really have to go down that road, maybe they should consider approvals from strict regulators (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ry_authorities).

    To that I would refer you back to the stringent regulatory authorities list. China isn’t on there.

    Boomer bloke screaming at a 16 girl at the local Macca's this morning was a heavy start to the day.

    Poor girl asked him to show that he had logged in with the QR code before she took his order.

    The most Sydney reaction possible.


    news.com.au
    Crowds of people thronged outdoors in Sydney on Saturday, enjoying “lockdown” and ignoring pleas to stay at home as NSW struggles to contain the Covid-19 Delta strain spread.

    I'm impressed that Australia are trying to get rampant covid after such an impressive start. It's like you're managed by Brendan Rodgers and you're trying to throw away the champions League(again).

    Work is even worse today than last weekend. This is the first time in paediatrics (and probably second in my career) where I've felt it's genuinely dangerous and where my care of my patients has suffered because we are overwhelmed.

    Any parent who calls 111 about a child with a fever seemingly gets sent straight to hospital. A good proportion of the time they phone an ambulance for them. It's insanity.

    The schools are absolutely rife with viruses at the moment. Plague Pit stuff.

    I suppose 18 months of home schooling / working from home / hyper-clean environments / social distancing / not getting ill isn't particularly good for developing immune systems.

    At the ground where I umpired on Saturday, it was part of a wider sports facility and to get to the cricket pitch area you had to go through a main entrance and a corridor of maybe 20 paces before you came outside again. In front of the main entrance there were four huge signs saying WEAR A MASK. I got into the doorway and took my mask out of my pocket, so it was visibly in my hands about to go on. There was a girl there so before putting it over my mouth I said 'How do I get to the cricket pitch please?' and she didn't answer, but started shaking with nerves/fear/anger/something and yelped PUT YOUR MASK ON. I pointed at the mask in bewilderment and put it on, and said something like 'It's fine, it's right here, I'm putting it on'. She then said 'We're expecting a police visit, if you don't have your mask on we'll all lose our jobs'.

    1. No you won't.
    2. Police visit? Seriously?
    3. This is ending in 2 weeks, how will they cope?
    4. People are/society is broken.

    In a similar vein, I've been invited to a corporate golf day and the list of hoops to jump through to be let in are absolutely ridiculous. It's golf, outdoors.

    4 on your list is so true. That week in London opened my eyes to it and once you've seen it you can't un-see it.

    Another cracker from SCIENCE on the BBC's live feed.

    Behavioural psychologist Prof Stephen Reicher, one of the scientists advising the government, tells BBC Breakfast: "Absolutely I agree that people have got to exercise responsibility – but not just personal responsibility, social responsibility.

    "We’ve got to act in ways which keep ourselves safe, which keep our families safe, which keep our communities safe.”

    He compares wearing masks to driving because it is "one of those areas where my freedom affects your freedom".

    "My freedom to drive fast affects your safety. My freedom not to wear a mask affects your safety in terms of not getting Covid," he says.

    “In areas like that we recognise we need some level of regulation.”
    What level of regulation? Utterly useless.

    Next Monday I think.

    I'm going to keep my mask solely so I can shove it up the piss pipe of the first cunt that pipes up about them on the 20th.

    I was going to have a mass bonfire but soft shites will always be soft so I'm not sure that will be the end of it. I recall seeing the Jews had to reverse their mask freedomz decision, did we overtake them on vaccination coverage or are they just even softer?

    It is being announced tonight apparently.

    They'll keep something restricted just for appearances sake, but it does look like masks et al are going.

    Or stop asking hundreds of kids to isolate every time someone in their year gets ill. Either's fine.
