    So it is official that you are hopelessly uninformed.

    When taxpayers’ money was given to the Oxford/AstraZeneca project the terms were clearly agreed. We got the vaccine at cost. Next year it will not be a pandemic anymore so they can sell it at profit in future contracts.

    Have you told everybody else in the world that the pandemic ends on 31st December at midnight this year? The article says that AstraZeneca "previously" said it would only make money when the pandemic is over, which implies that they have changed their minds and will make money when the pandemic is still ongoing. Indeed, it seems strange that this paragraph is in the article...

    However, Nick Dearden, director of campaign group Global Justice Now, said AstraZeneca's decision to start profiting from the vaccine while the coronavirus pandemic was continuing "shows the utter folly of giving away publicly-funded science to big pharma".

    That also implies that they will be making a profit whilst the pandemic is still ongoing. Not to worry, I am sure everything will be cleared up when you explain that the pandemic ends at midnight on 31st December. ****ing clown.

    On Wednesday, Sajid Javid felt the need to warn officials to be careful when discussing Covid figures, after Amanda Pritchard, the chief executive of NHS England, wrongly claimed that hospitals were now treating more infected patients than a year ago, saying there were “14 times” more coronavirus patients in hospital now compared to “this time last year”. In fact, data from the Government’s dashboard shows there were 800 average daily coronavirus admissions and 7,000 inpatients in England at the end of last week compared to 1,300 and 11,000 respectively in the first week of last November.

    Asked whether he should talk to Ms Pritchard about the error and if the NHS should be extra careful with figures, especially when anti-vaxxers leap on data that paint jabs in a bad light, Mr Javid said: “We all need to be cautious about the facts and figures that we use and that includes me.”

    I am undecided whether Ms. Pritchard: a) Just took a guess b) Knew the figures were wrong, but wanted to keep people scared or c) Is some sort of ****ing idiot.

    Of course there are more people catching, spreading and dying of covid that are vaccinated than unvaccinated there are more vaccinated people and nobody said the vaccines would stop you catching spreading it and dying .

    What we need is for everyone to take the booster and receive a health passport then only the unvaccinated will have to take weekly tests meaning only unvaccinated people will be testing positive and spreading it to each other .

    That's science

    It was declared a pandemic by the dodgy UN organisation WHO. Do you do everything because they mandate it? If you want to spend the rest of your life waiting on those charlatans you are welcome. Only this week sources in this country stated that by next year the status of the plague will have been demoted to endemic.

    Presumably you have been an avid follower of Global Justice Now for years rather than just Googling for a soundbite to back your argument. Most other people think they are a bunch of Marxists/anti-Capitalists readily ignored by anyone with any sense. Nick Dearden an old school buddy of yours, is he? He is factually inaccurate as not all the money came from public funding but he is a rabid lunatic. He should stick to grumbling at banks for not writing off third world debt whilst almost certainly having a pension fund dependent on bank profits like a proper hypocrite.

    Who mentioned 31 December? If you had actually bothered with more than ten seconds research you would have found that AstraZeneca will still be providing the vaccine at cost to developing world countries and the future contracts that they have signed do not start until after the fourth quarter. The facts are just not sensational enough for you.

    <doh> Since you contradicted yourself in your first two paragraphs you should surely be renamed Dunce Donuts.

    No science required just simple observation.

    It was you that said that of course more people are catching spreading and dying with covid as there are more vaccinated people than not.

    Who mentioned December 31st? You said, "next year it won't be a pandemic anymore" so unless you have your own calendar then by definition the pandemic will stop, at the latest on December 31st at midnight i.e.before next year because according to you there won't be one next year.

    Has QuarterMong took the booster to remain fully protected?

    By his own admission, he’s in his twilight years.

    I like the way he types up all his replies and saves them on a floppy disk until the next day where he can get Internet access.

    You brain dead Neanderthals never disappointment. Just like that Jock cretin A.L.D.O 4.1, when you are wrong change the subject or resort to complaining that the facts are boring.

    Paragraph 1 (quote) “there are more vaccinated people and nobody said the vaccines would stop you catching spreading it and dying”
    Paragraph 2 (quote) “only unvaccinated people will be testing positive and spreading it to each other”

    So cold hard fact of your own post, as I stated, you contradicted yourself. The second quote is patently untrue for reasons given in the first quote.

    Now get back to shagging your sister you six-toed moron. <laugh>

    You really are bone idle. If you are going to claim to quote me then do actually quote something that I actually wrote. Having been found to be wrong you are simply trying to obfuscate by nitpicking over the use of the term “next year” using a functionally inaccurate definition.

    If I state that next year there will be an Epsom Derby, will you be standing on Epsom Downs on 1st January 2022 expecting to see crowds and horses? I could turn out to be wrong if the Derby does not take place just like I could be wrong to state that next year there will be an FA Cup Final. Will you be at Wembley on 1st January?

    For anybody with an IQ above single figures, “next year” is 365 days long, starting on 1st January (like any other year) and ending on 31st December (like any other year). <doh>

    No, you ****ing idiot, if you say there is an Epsom Derby next year then it could be any day from 1st January 2022 until 31st December 2022. Saying there won't be an Epsom Derby (or indeed a pandemic) then that means there won't be one from January 1st 2022 until 31st December 2022. It really isn't very difficult, well, it evidently is for you as your IQ is way below average.
