It was a ludicrous statement at the time, and looks even worse now. Bozo said 10m Pfizer by end January. Pfizer say they will deliver 2m and that's in line with the UKG contract. Not hard to see where the issue arose, I assume the SG gave the 1m based on the pro rata distribution model (near enough at 8.5% being 850k). And that was just by the end of December, presumably she expected further deliveries in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 And that was just by the end of December, presumably she expected further deliveries in January.Agreed. Scotland has Zero control / input into the delivery of vaccines. We get 8.5% of each batch delivered to the UKG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) I do like the way that some people just think it turns up packged etc and then you just rip open the packages and start firing into it to people Anyway even Stamer is now saying national lockdown for England instead of being a tory backbencher about it all Edited January 3, 2021 by doulikefish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How inappropriate of the plebs to expect that the *checks notes* Cabinet Secretary for Health (and Sport) would have an accurate understanding of vaccine supply for the biggest public health/economic crisis in multiple generations, instead of havering self-congratulatory nonsense predictions and then blaming everyone else for them not being met. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you’ve learned from the error of your ways in referring to Leitch as the CMO and are now checking notes to get the positions right. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The Pfizer spokesman was still indicating 5 million or more doses were possible by the the end of December on the day the UK approved the vaccine. Looks like they delivered less than a million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way are they going to announce tomorrow that they are going back in on the 18th. Cancelling the exams seems like a bit of a masterstroke by the Welsh and Scottish Governments it will have taken a lot of pressure off them with this "missing learning" crap that the Tories are banding about. Of course by cancelling exams you also cancel the exam leave so basically extended the school term by what 4 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand that they don't grow on trees (all the more reason to have a cohesive plan in place that doesn't result in vaccines sitting in fridges for 24 hours) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
