Really? I didn’t see that. Very worrying trends here (and I’m sure in other countries) with certain ethnic and religious groups having low rates of uptake for the jab. I don’t really understand it. In Birmingham in some south Asian and Afro Caribbean communities less than half the over 80s have accepted their invitation for the jab, and there are many, including junior doctors, from these backgrounds saying they won’t either, at least not yet.

Riots in Amsterdam and Eindhoven.....a centre burned down in Urk.
Second week running there has been disorder.
Yeah the cultural thing about vaccinations is very strange. I’ll see what anecdotal evidence of non compliance I can find when I get back to work....most of our patients are Asian so will be interesting to gauge some opinion.
 
Still going great guns with the vaccinations, was there any indication as to when we are likely to be slowed down by supply?

Absolutely...the longer it goes unabated the more chance of new variants....and our program will be in vain

I am very glad ( selfishly for myself) we are doing vaccination so well. But until it is conquered worldwide life won't get back normal.

We are all in this together

I’m old enough to remember a poster crowing about France catching us up on deaths.

We’ll pass 100k in the next day or two and 1000 in a day is barely news any more. If the MSM (quite a broad term to lump The Express and Guardian together) has a particular narrative they’ll presumably be delighted.

They've been hoisted by their own petard, a few months ago we were being told we'd regret not buying into their vaccine deal. Their red tape and strategy shows up everything that behemoth represents and why we're now in a far better position than we would have been otherwise.

The government has made far too many mistakes and been deservedly monstered for them, on this occasion they've played a blinder and deserve the credit.

The EU are only just beginning to realise, like they did with PPE, that some things are far better dealt with locally. Hungary have approved a deal with Russia for the Sputnik vax which says it all...

I'm not saying that Britain doing well with vaccinations isn't a good news story, it plainly is. What I find bizarre is how some people seem to be revelling in the fact that the EU is struggling, often as justification of Brexit.

Some things are indeed better dealt with locally, Test & Trace for example. The government does deserve credit for the success of the vaccination programme, mainly for the fact that they resisted the temptation to hand it to their mates to make massive profits out of. More credit should go the NHS, the Army, St Johns Ambulance and the hundreds of volunteers that are getting the job done, though.

Come off it, it's not revelling.
It's an example of being better off out of the EU.
EU supporters on here are forever asking for examples of this and this is one.

Sorry all, wrong thread really.
