My dad has had DVT a few times and he had a stroke recently but has AZ and he seems fine.

I remember reading the info they gave me on my first jab re the yellow card. Didn’t think they needed to be bothered about an achy arm.

Practical consequences of EU delays.
Krakow has just had to open a “Nightingale” hospital at our conference centre to add ICU Capacity.
At least they are carrying on with AZ jabs.
New infections rate in the State of 2mil was 1000+ so over 500 per million.
And atm we have it easy compared to oop north

The “holiday makers” had a huge row “why so many restrictions?”
So Mrs P_F’s BFF told them to fvck off & set out with the family at 03:30 to Luxor.
Sent back a picture.
Empty car park, only people there
No masks.

Why do some people get more side effects?

However, side effects vary massively from one person to another. Some will not notice a thing; others will feel groggy, but good enough to go to work; others will need to ride it out in bed.

“A really important component, and this might be relevant for you James [I am in my mid-30s], is age,” Prof Andrew Pollard, who led trials of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, told me.

“The older you are, the less the side effects - the over-70s have almost no side effects.”

Well this ups the ante

EU could block exports of vaccines to the UK, Von der Leyen suggests

The EU commission president, Ursula von der Leyen , hinted on Wednesday that the bloc could withhold vaccine exports to the UK , reopening a dispute with the British government over supply delays affecting the European inoculation campaign.

Bloomberg reports:

As the European Union struggles to quicken the pace of its Covid vaccination programme, Von der Leyen said the bloc will consider blocking supplies to countries that aren’t reciprocating or which already have high vaccination rates. She singled out the UK as the No 1 importer of shots from the EU.

‘We have observed that in the last six weeks, 10 million doses have been exported to the UK,’ Von der Leyen told reporters in Brussels.

’The UK is producing AstraZeneca. In our contract with AstraZeneca there are two sites in the UK that are put in the contract for potential deliveries to the EU.’

In further comments, Von der Leyen said:

I want to be clear on reciprocity. If the situation does not change, we will have to reflect on how to make exports to vaccine-producing countries dependent on their level of openness.

We are exporting a lot to countries that are themselves producing vaccines and we think this is an invitation to be open, so we also see exports from them coming back to the European Union.

The second point that is of importance for us, we will reflect on whether exports to countries who have higher vaccination rates than us are still proportionate.

This about making sure Europe gets its fair share.

[
]

[The UK] is country number one where exports from the European Union is concerned and indeed, the United Kingdom is producing AstraZeneca.

We are still waiting for doses to come from the UK, so this is an invitation to show us that there are also doses from the UK coming to the European Union.’

How many do we import from the EU vs EU import from UK?

If B is higher than A then we just reciprocate whatever the EU do.

What they’re not dealing with by doing this is the poor take-up of the vaccines, which they have created.

They have said >10m have come into the UK which the majority is Pfizer - We haven’t sent back any AZ because of

a) the contract
b) what’s the point - if they haven’t banned it, the govt can’t use what they have got

Ultimately vdL is doing what they always do - trying to drop the blame onto the EU bogey man - they have fucked up their own roll out and therefore they are going to torpedo anyone elses until they are the bestest
