Has he blocked you?

Its just a rough patch.

Here’s an ethical dilemma of the type we’ve basically ignored so far. If people in care homes generally have a life expectancy of 6 months, should they get the first round of vaccines ahead of say 75 year old plus people, who are not in care homes, who are at risk but would generally have a much higher life expectancy

Whatever about a philosophical debate, I think it’s clear our health authorities are not interested in engaging with any decision making analysis beyond what the immediate and unadjusted risk is.

They’ll make the easy decision, not the right one. As they have done all along

I wouldn’t touch that vaccine with a bargepole.

I don’t think many people plan on touching in with barge poles, to be honest.

You will if it’s a requirement for you to travel and go back to Italy to see the folks.

Looks like Moderna will have a Vaccine too by December

Good stuff. With the Oxford one too we could be good to go by the end of Q1.

Is it not a worry there’s so many different vaccines? I thought with vaccines there’s just one no?

What do you mean? It’s all companies developing their own vaccines independent of each other

I’m saying I didn’t think we’d get multiple different types of working vaccines. I thought with vaccines there’s just one solution and that’s it.

There are many ways to skin a cat.

Different ingredients, same result… Coke, Pepsi, Tesco cola…

Would it make sense to get an injection of all of the different vaccines, just to cover all bases?

I was reading there that they’re now postulating that if you get covid, that your immunity to Covid wears off after about 6 months, and your susceptible to reinfection again. So we’ll likely be taking the these vaccines for the rest of our lives.
Time to buy some stock in Pfizer et al.
