He is alluding to the fact that as soon as a study shows that vaccines are not affected by a variant, the media ALMOST IMMEDIATELY finds a 'new concerning variant' He wasn't inferring that the report says that the vaccine stems the next 'new variant' almost immediately. It concerns me that you need this explained to you. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binos Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 16 minutes ago, djchapsticks said: Think many of us have been saying it for months. It's a double edged sword to increase both adherence to restrictions and vaccine uptake. Once they hit 70-80% of the population vaccinated, we'll see how often variants are rolled out. Van Tam said it yesterday, it's nothing they haven't seen before or planned for. They've planned for everything so well to date! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's not being subsidised, that's enough. She can't even apply for universal credit because I work. I'd be tempted to apply anyway, you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 There is nothing in that report saying the vaccines work ‘almost immediately’. Liars gotta lie. Oops. Pretty sure you’ve got the wrong end of the stick here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word when myself and our daughter get ours "just have to wait for the appointment" according to the nurse. Still, that's 16% of the household vaccinations done. Didn't have to wait long - 5.55 the surgery rang, "Can you come down now?", so off we went, 48% household vaccinations complete now, Edited February 9, 2021 by Jacksgranda Typo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 So, basically what is going to happen is we’re not going to be allowed to go abroad while England will still be allowed to visit certain countries. They bring variants back which inevitably cross the border to Scotland. Basically we sit in the house doing f**k all for no reward while England does what it wants, yet again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost immediately: I think we should seal the borders to stop these variants showing up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the crucial point. Being able to blame England for importing any new variants. Apart from that you’re spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for an Independent Scotland. It’s interesting that the debate on this matter in the US is clearly leaning towards large fiscal stimulus. Even Trump was apparently quoted as wanting to “go big” and he signed a massive stimulus package just before leaving office. The sorts of analysts who usually take a hawkish approach to spending like this aren’t doing so this time. We are likely going to see a huge fiscal injection to the US economy during a period with relatively high household budgets and a relatively booming stock market. What happens will be interesting economically and politically in the US anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
