The General Covid19 Thread

alistair

C_J Von der Leyen is out of her depth. Rose to the dizzy heights of German defence minister. As for Macron, what a BERK

LT42

C_J Ranting on about shady conspiracies and quasi-Tories is pretty offside imo.

Conspiracies? The ole patronising trump card. Get tae fuck, CJ. Anything I’ve spoken about above is public knowledge. And there’s plenty of Tory spastics spouting told you so nonsense, as if they predicted this would happen.

And Dutchy, I’m just playing Devil’s advocate here, I don’t think the EU played a good hand at all and were too soft imo. You’re right an all, a bit of foresight that the UK and US would’ve put country first would’ve solved all this.

alistair Any idea how much a washer for a U-Bend pipe is in Yorkshire, Alistair?

Old-Dutch

Did I just imagine the EU demanding that the AstraZeneca vaccine was supplied to them before the UK took theirs when the production hit issues? Is that not putting yourself first?

LT42

What’s the take on Norwegian scientists recent findings on the AZ vaccine, lads?

All a conspiracy? The “EU” coming up with an Ernst Blofeld level killing campaign is pretty big news to be fair.

Old-Dutch

LT42

Any links? Wasn’t aware there were findings, thought they were conducting further tests.

alistair

LT42 so why is Macron and others not following the science and going with the findings of the EMA and WHO? Come on, hit me with it. And surely, their wilful belligerence never mind ignorance is costing lives?

Interesting read regarding the UK and EU’s contracts with Astra Zeneca.

Spot on.

Made this point in a response to Hannu earlier this week.

Without being a Times correspondent 🤣

Such a conspiracy

LT42

Old-Dutch I saw something this morning from the last 24hrs, let me find it

LT42

alistair jaysus, Alistair. You’re like an aul wan gossiping at the checkouts. Bore off.

LT42

Seems the EU regulator has said its now safe and rollouts have resumed with the disclaimer that clots can be caused in rare cases. I reckon there’s a massive insurance hand involved and it’s a storm in a tea cup but who knows, there hasn’t been adequate time put into research for all of these vaccines as we’ve spoken about on here before..

A conspiracy, yeah?

Hmm…

Old-Dutch

There have been similar (I think even more) instances with the Pfizer vaccine also - but these weren’t deemed necessary for further investigation

LT42

Old-Dutch Like all vaccines a small percentage of people will succumb to side effects unfortunately, I think that would be the sensible way to look at it, and in every situation these things should be studied just in case. However, the idea that it was done to spite the UK and AZ is one spouted by absolute mouth breathing anti-EU twats.

LT42

bosstrabs hmmm what, Dave? The halting of the rollout would have mutli national insurance lawyers up all night. Amirite?

I’ve taken issue with Alistair’s bone headed idea that the EU are kiiling people as opposed to, you know, the fucking virus we’ve lived with for over 12 months and the decisions made by individuals.

Old-Dutch

Why not take a consistent approach if there are suspected issues happening in parallel? A little odd to single one out over the other when there are less instances with it in the first place?

The Italian Health Minister has already admitted it is a political issue with the AZ vaccine

bosstrabs

Hmm, in that you’re telling people their comments are basically unsubstantiated gossip, when most of what you present is the same e.g.

“I reckon there’s a massive insurance hand involved ”

“there’d be some underhanded greedy deals being done”

“The underhanded nature of why this is so has already been revealed.”

How about some sources?

LT42

bosstrabs all more than reasonable arguments than spouting the “EU” are killing people, which is the kinda thing Maura and Bridey are taking about at the checkout.

You can Google UK Govt blocking Oxford deal with Merck for a start, Dave. Also Google Trump admin begins blocking of vaccine exports. Have fun. İ don’t save links on the pretense you’ll be grilling me 6 months into the future but I know what I’ve read.

Old-Dutch

Whatever way you want to look at it if you take a coordinated approach to destroy public confidence in a vaccine during a pandemic for political purposes when you don’t have sufficient supply of alternative vaccines it’s beyond reckless at best.

LT42

Old-Dutch for political purposes? Is that not a conspiracy theory? Given we know testing and research found the findings to be true.

Hursty
