I said nothing of the sort and you know it. All I said was that drugs and vaccines in general are not tested on unhealthy people which basically means that it will be tested on fewer elderly. Whether there was sufficient data was up to our scientists to decide and they obviously decided that there is, just as the EMA of the EU have also decided. The decrying of the vaccine in the EU is purely political imo as they have no vaccine and now includes Poland, France, Belgium and Germany. They are going to kill their elderly with their spite and I will continue to calculate the figures to show EU failure.

The EU continues to want to shoot itself in both feet and does not want to believe UK science !!!!! 😂 Or is it purely political in order to convince elderly EU citizens that their delay in approving Astrazeneca was justified so that they won't complain about not getting vaccinated as it is useless for them anyway. Thus, Belgium have now also banned Astrazenica......... for over 55s : https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1392776/eu-vaccine-news-astrazeneca-belgium-ban-over55s-oxford-vaccine-covid-latest Bearing this in mind Astrazeneca should stop deliveries to the EU imo and save the jab for elderly throughout the rest of the world. Don't let them waste it on their young.... 😎

Some appeared to clap and cheer when we hit 100,000 and relish that we were apparently doing so poorly under Boris, and those tended to be our fellow EU remoaners and Labourites. So, just adding some perspective and realism as their EU hero Macron continues to berate our vaccines and the rollout. Incidentally, without Boris at the helm we would not have gone our own way in ordering vaccines and would be suffering similarly to the EU, as Labour condemned us for daring to not follow the bureaucratic EU method. 😎🤗

There is also a link with his uncle Harry Redknapp so this could well happen imo.

There has been one very creative player missing for the past 120 minutes or so and will be missing for another 90. The pitch last night was also awful. So I'm not surprised that we struggled a bit.

Mentioned in Chris Goreham's recent article that Emi has the worst red card record of any EFL player since the start of the 2018/19 season. Just as well that he has not gone to Arsenal yet as they had two players sent off last night and could well have been three if Emi was playing there. 🤣

These are my latest figures for comparison with USA out of interest, as I could not find totals for the EU anywhere. Make of it as you will but the EU will hit the dreaded milestone of half a million deaths within the next 7 days or so: Total deaths throughout EU countries 28/1/2021 = 463,189 todate = 479,829 Additional deaths reported 28/1/2021 = 3,660 today = 4,313 Population 488 million Total deaths in USA 28/1/2021 = 442,631 todate = 457,868 Additional deaths 28/1/2021 = 2,793 today = 3,632 Population 332 million

Yeah, people are giving french expert Dr Macron a hard time 😂🤗

Yup, I thought it at the time and suggested that on this BB when he got sent off last time as this could be a regular thing. The plus side is that he will be less in demand from other sides.

Ah so you know that there is no SA variant throughout the whole of the EU ? I bet there is.

Swindon is referring to those that the vaccine will save thanks to lean mean Brexit Britain and I'm sure that even you will admit that he is correct !! 😂🤗

Dont forget that our EU friend Macron effectively closed the border over xmas to about 10,000 hauliers to make his political point, and that was because of covid allegedly LOL !!!

The time to compare will be at the end of the pandemic. All countries have made mistakes due to the unprecedented nature of the crisis. At the end I believe we will compare very favourably because of our much faster vaccine rollout. Also, there are some differences in counting which overinflate our figures in comparison to other countries. Germany for instance do not include deaths at home. 😎

Well they rolled it out earlier because they were able to make decisions unhindered by the EU due to Brexit. IE: they were not tied by the EU mandate that all states must allow the Commission to place orders and individual states must not place individual orders , in order to show solidarity. If we had been in the EU we would have had to abide by the mandate. While the EU dithered under its own bureaucracy the UK were placing vaccine orders right left and centre. Thus, when the vaccines were available and approved by the MHRA we beat the EU by months which has really angered them ...... LOL NB: it is also obvious that the EU avoided buying vaccines in the UK as much as possible, also probably due to their ire over Brexit. LOL

I was in lockdown in Gambia and had better things to do 😎 🤣 Shame that the EU commissioners don't follow this BB.....

How often can you be wrong...... 🤗🤣

Also, our purchase of the vaccine fridges gave us a head start. Apparently the EU still does not have them and as we know they are absolutely essential to the Pfizer -80C vaccine ... 😎

The countries were pressured out of independent procurement and had to write letters apologizing to VDL. Obvious is it not ... JEEZ ... and we passed a law allowing us to bypass EM approval BTW ... from the Mail article : " By December, when the vaccines were ready to be deployed for the first time, Mr Hancock had introduced legal changes to ensure that Britain's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) had full sovereignty over the approval decisions, not the European body."

The Hungary procurement has been in a recent act of desperation after realising the EU failures on procurement.

We all know what the answers are. It is inconvenient for our remoaning friends to be honest but not many have been honest throughout anyway. The result of this does not bear thinking about in the number of extra lost lives in the UK.

Of course our independence did make a difference. We would have been pressured to use the EU joint procurement model otherwise, just as Netherlands, Germany and others were by Frau Merkel who got the relevant Health Secretaries in the EU to write letters of apology expressing their profound regret for daring to try to do independent procurement : "On June 13, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands – who had formed the Inclusive Vaccines Alliance – announced a deal for between 300 million and 400 million doses of the AstraZeneca jab, a move which appeared to show that Europe's powerhouses were not afraid to flex their muscles in defiance of EU bureaucrats. But German Chancellor Angela Merkel, conscious that such a move could undermine the European project, ordered her health minister, along with those of the other nations in the alliance, to write an extraordinary letter to Ms von der Leyen apologising for going it alone. 'We believe that it is of the utmost importance to have a common, single and joint approach,' the ministers wrote. Merkel had instructed her health minister to 'sound as humble as possible'. The alliance stopped operating, and allowed the EC to lead the talks." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9205465/We-need-buy-freezers-fast-Thats-Jonathan-Van-Tam-told-No-10-Spring.html

To all intents and purposes it is but it is very inconvenient for remoaners to admit it. 😎

How Brexit Britain's early decision-making beat the EU at every stage in vaccine orders, vaccine fridges/freezers and removed 30% of the bureaucracy by passing laws to give MHRA sovereignty over EMA. A very good article indeed which should make us all proud to be British !!! : 🤗 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9205465/We-need-buy-freezers-fast-Thats-Jonathan-Van-Tam-told-No-10-Spring.html
