Can understand pausing these in one sense but I don't know if scientist's or researchers are going to be able to infer why these are occuring with Astrazenca and J and J vaccines and not the Mrna ones.

Or maybe they are occurring in mrna ones?

A few weeks ago you were saying the British medical association were wrong to give the vaccines 12 weeks apart.

Do you not think one of the oldest and most distinguished medical professionals in the world maybe know more than you and should be trusted to make this decision? 

Only time will tell which approach was best but quick decisions were and still are needed as people are dying every day. 

You left out that another host of experts did not recommend this route I.e the EMA. I trusted there decision on this. 

I wasn’t making up my own analysis on it and contradicting experts.  I was agreeing with the EMA approach.

Speculation I read last night - and it could be old news buy now - was what the pause in the US was so that healthcare professionals could get up to speed on how to identify sypmtom \ risks of clot developing from the vaccine and treat accordingly.

The number of cases is so low it would be very difficult to identify anything beyond this at present. I assume the expect more cases to arise as the cases I read about where post-jab day range of 6-12 days (could be wrong on the day range).

That was a point in time recommendation based on the manufacturer - since then more is known via the analysis done on millions ofjabs. France are already extending the number of weeks.

But given you have no qualifications how do you know which ‘experts’ were right and which were wrong.

You were adamant the BMA were wrong. 

Come on, I’ll give you a helping hand to move these goalposts.

Positive news from Pfizer so soon after yesterday's negative news. It would be reassuring to know if NIAC were aware of this additional delivery. Have to assume they did.

I wonder how long it will take to see J and J and AZ back in use?

And will they stop producing or will deliveries still be met?


They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

I know but he was talking about a few weeks ago when I expressed my opinion on it.  I didn’t say I was against it now.

Based on what Ursula Von Der Leyens saying today it looks like EU is politely moving away from these vaccines.  Denmark have suspended AZ fully. See @DaveKeating on twitter.

Yeah we need more. Loads of other countries will take them and they are believed to be very safe for people over 60.

I got my vaccine a few weeks ago and back then you didn’t know what you were getting until on the day (I got the blood clots, not the 5G)

Apparently now the UK are confirming if it’s Pfizer or AZ beforehand. I assume you can say no to the AZ and wait for one of the others.

Congrats (I think!). Take McG's advise and throw money into crypto and that'll have the attic paid for before we ever get a vaccine.

But it’s equally valid to ask why did you not trust the EMA.  What level of qualification did you have to not trust the EMA.  

I trust the EMA and still do and I think the cautious approach the right approach.  

The level of abuse and comments aimed at experts throughout this whole pandemic has been scandalous and you are attempting draw parallels between that and me saying that I believed the EMA approach was the correct one and that the UK approach in the absence of proven evidence was the wrong approach imo.  It was a risk that seems to have paid off and the evidence now really confirms that which is totally fair enough.  

I don’t think I was disparaging  to the British Medical association or would I think for one second I come near their expertise.  There are tight judgment calls being made all the time and these experts should be respected in my view and talk is cheap on Twitter and other social media.  

The same way I agree with the cautious approach from the US in relation to Johnson and Johnson and in Ireland with AZ until further evidence is available.

Interesting and yet nphet get dogs abuse on Twitter some of the same
People who were saying we should do what Denmark were doing with regard to securing extra vaccines.  

There is a template at play here on Irish social media which is Ireland is terrible and let’s pick a country that is doing it the opposite way and they are great and we are backward.  

Throughout this whole thing many of the same heads have basically had an a la carte picking of strategies from different countries and many of them are polar opposites but are popular for a time.
