Re: From oxford
There have been many misleading reports, especially from the EU on the effeciency of the Astra Zeneca vaccination.
The World Health Organisation have stated today that the vaccination offers excellent protection from those 18 and above. They also stated that the vaccination gives excellent protection for those over 65 years of age.

Re: From oxford
Well on their own admission today Ursula von der Leyen did nothing but apologise for the cockup in failing to roll out the vaccination programme as fast as they should. They were always going to slag off the UK Astrazeneca vaccine heavens above if the UK got one out quickly. It is also sticking in her craw that how dare the UK vaccinate to date more people in the UK than the rest of the EU combined. They have even bad mouthed the vaccine saying it is not as good as has been claimed, well big bit of back tracking as it is still offering good protection. I wonder is it that it costs £3 a jab instead of the £12 for the Pfizer one. Don't know if anyone saw her on the news but she looked stressed out dark shadows under her eyes. normally she looks quite smart but looked well hammered today.

Re: From oxford
As I posted Lewis the WHO rubbished the EU statements about the poor performance of the vaccine.

Re: From oxford
As I mentioned I got mine today Astrazeneca and happy enough with that. Time will tell, but will keep myself to myself as a lot of people think that they are now protected from the minute they got it, explained to me today be careful for a few weeks and even then exercise caution.

Re: From oxford
We are not out of the woods but reports here are that Britain's winter Covid wave continues
to shrink with cases fall by a third in a week.
Touch wood all false news from dubious sources is not required and Brittannia is near on track.

According to our news here in Oz Vaccinations in England, not sure about the other countries in UK will have done 15 mil by Monday.
EU promised to begin in all 27 nations on December 27th, never happened.
As to the thread I started it is not just theory it is based on fact.
Those of us who have been to South Africa can no doubt bear witness to this.
I know from my UK relatives what is occurring in UK and how the numbers are dropping substantially, though there ae a few hot spots where it is not doing so well.
In some parts, Birmingham is one, many of other faiths have been told not to have the jab.
Terrible things will happen to you if you do.
The leaders of these areas have been brought into give talks to disspell these fairy stories.
The first batch of Pfizer for Oz has been dispatched from Belgium and will be ready in a few days for use.

Victoria, do not put too much trust in the Nebulizer story.
Our Dictator premier is the king of Spin when it comes to giving out so called facts.
He has been caught out a number of times and ids not happy when he is.

Re: From oxford
I see that an Iranian Cleric (in the UK) has told the men in his congregation not to have the injection as there is something in it will turn them into gays. Not a story, he appeared on television. Another Pakistani also on the media declared it was a system designed to get rid of all non Caucasians.
They walk among us and they breed, the only trouble is they become in effect walking suicide bombers
