My social media used to be full of :
"that evil toff moron Boris is trying to kill us all by delaying the 2nd dose, when doing that hasn't been tested by the trials, and against all medical advice, just to try to scam the international vaccination league tables"

Now it is full of:
"that evil toff moron Boris tried to kill us all by delaying the 2nd dose, and its no defence that he turned out to be right and that a longer gap is quite effective, and possibly better"
Excellent.
Some of us others aren’t too keen to be used as experiments.

Well it is good that some people are willing to participate in formal trials.

And I also think it is a good think that public health experts are willing to make reasonable assumptions in order to try to save lives, even if that particular assumption has not been clinically tested.

“Reasonable assumptions” - lives that hadn’t signed up to such...
Look, I think it’s great that the “vaccines” seem to be producing positive results.
But, they are learning more about these vaccines now, than they did during testing.
Let’s hope it works out well for all, mutations etc included.

Had the letter today, so logged on, now I know there are vaccination centres within 10 miles of me, but they said closest was 21 miles as crow flies, will actually translate to an hour each way, so I will keep trying until something closer comes up, not overly worried as I'm still protected having had it. (in theory)

That’s an essential journey if ever there was one, make sure you take the Maserati ;)

Funny one innit.
We’ve had very few cases over here- hence the lack of urgency re “vaccination”. Why get vaccinated for something that isn’t here?
Whether that hinders Australia’s return to global normality remains to be seen......-
Last I heard, politicians over here were insisting that everyone isolate for 14 days on entry to Oz......vaccinated or not.
That’s a spanner in the works as I for 1 wouldn’t bother coming under that criteria.

So lets just say no trips to Aus in the distant future then!

Dave
Frankly unless governments around the world change their “actions” with regards to outbreaks, mutations etc I don’t wanna travel anywhere. (This even includes interstate in Oz)
It’s entirely possible you may not get home (in time) and you may be locked down in your chosen destination.
I don’t see any sort of travel normality returning anywhere for years.

Yes, could be years. Probably 2.

I was offered a range of about 20 locations, with the nearest about 25 miles away and the furthest about 100. I was a little surprised there was nowhere nearer. But I was also quite tempted to pick the furthest, just for a run out.
