@DreamDolly I just want to echo what others have said and I’m sending a prayer up that the pups pull through. I know how much of an animal lover you are so I can imagine how hard it must be for you right now. Fingers crossed for a good outcome
After reading about all these countries putting the AZ jab on hold due to blood clots (even though theyre not linked to the jab - hmm very strange coincidence ) i watched both Bbc and itv news. No mention of it on Bbc. Itv mentioned vaccines but nothing about other countries stopping it. Makes me so angry we arent told things!They need to keep the hype and momentum going at all costs.
There is a very VERY good reason why Boris set 21st of June as the notional date restrictions should be all lifted by.
One of the major Vaccine companies Astrazeneca have set a date of 1st of July as a preliminary date for the pandemic to end. This means they (assuming they don't extend it) can start to profit from their vaccine instead of selling it at cost price to world governments.
AstraZeneca could profit from COVID-19 vaccine as early as July - FT
AstraZeneca <AZN.L> could start profiting from its COVID-19 vaccine as soon as July next year, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing a memo showing the British drugmaker can declare when it considers the pandemic to have ended.www.reuters.com
I have no doubt in my mind with some countries opened up already and more fall in line to open fully on or near July 1st, coupled with the fact that I can't see any major company not wanting to boost profits, It will be almost a guarantee (by virtue of some temporary normality in the UK and USA) the pandemic will be declared as over by Astrazeneca on July 1st..
But wait a min..................shortfalls? clots?

The game is starting to get incredibly messy now, as governments play profits vs smear campaign war and its ordinary people caught up in the middle of it all. The media have a duty to be more honest about this and call out blatant politics when they see it. Things have got so bad in Ireland around the subject of vaccination I think I would be relieved if someone told me McDonalds have been tasked with rolling it out. The health service are beyond a joke... Just some of the many headlines in the last few weeks (very few questions being asked). Oh and by the way the numpty in charge of the HSE is on more than OUR TAOISEACH!!! and double his UK counterpart and just recently had an increase great work if you can get it!

PS @DreamDolly Hope the puppers are ok
That is what happens at the lockdown protests. BLM was allowed to do anything including violence and police just watchedCan this really be argued that this is about not spreading a virus?
Worldwide data shows that protests and outdoor events haven't increased covid numbers.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Glasgow football stadium the other day with no come back.
BLM protests were allowed to continue and the MET took the knee to them, while we were in lockdown.
What could have been a peaceful and controlled vigil turns into this.
They had control, not one person did anything to deserve the manhandling that happens here.
What the duck is happening to this country
The same people who have DNR on them.I think this is very sad for this mans family I know I wouldn’t like it
It's so sad I was reading about her yesterday the doctors told her last Christmas was probably her last ,your health is your wealth alwaysRandom but I've just seen that Sarah Harding from GA has terminal cancer and potentially only months to live. What a horrible way to have spent the last year of your life. The thought has made me so sad. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
Ireland have about 14 vaccines to go around they might need to do a lottery at this point to give them out, people just don’t care anymore anyway, the government have lost the public, and apart from screwing over our economy by keeping most parts of society shut most people have just gone back to normal. Let them do what they want with vaccines, it’s past the point of embarrassment.Ireland are the next country to suspend the AZ vaccine
What about the mass testing , they’re expecting people to be tested at every turn before there able to do thing’s... just you wait you’ll not be able to go to Tesco without a neg test and the queue at pennies will be triple while they wait for their test results or no knickers and socks will be purchased ... Seriously there’s going to be a lot of restrictions put on society in future this is a long way from being over.L

the handling of the vigil last night was very upsetting to see, in comparison to the way they’ve handled the football gatherings and BLM protests.
They are bringing a bill to parliament tomorrow (U.K.) to allow the police more power over protests I’m not buying into CT’s here, as I’ve said many many times I don’t really belong here in that respect,
but I find this very worrying
you know what, I haven’t had one test to date, and I don’t intend to unless it’s necessary (As in if I’m in a healthcare setting) or there is a proper system in place, not this bleeping slap dash/making it up as we go along tit that doesn’t make sense and makes this bleeping tit show look even more ridiculous than it is right now.What about the mass testing , they’re expecting people to be tested at every turn before there able to do thing’s... just you wait you’ll not be able to go to Tesco without a neg test and the queue at pennies will be triple while they wait for their test results or no knickers and socks will be purchased ...

I haven’t had one either But they’re bringing it into the workplaces etc up here and no doubt schools will be next it will drive people further away from voluntary accepting one if they can’t afford to isolate with a pos result even though they’re asymtomaticyou know what, I haven’t had one test to date, and I don’t intend to unless it’s necessary (As in if I’m in a healthcare setting) or there is a proper system in place, not this bleeping slap dash/making it up as we go along tit that doesn’t make sense and makes this bleeping tit show look even more ridiculous than it is right now.
I don’t want to post this on the covid thread, I also don’t believe that the pandemic is some big conspiracy that was orchestrated by bill gates, so I don’t belong here either,I haven’t had one either But they’re bringing it into the workplaces etc up here and no doubt schools will be next it will drive people further away from voluntary accepting one if they can’t afford to isolate with a pos result even though they’re asymtomatic
It’s a hard one to call but the pandemic has opened a lot of people’s eyes to how little control we actually have over our own lives... but what alternative have we , nobody wants their kids growing up in conflict either.I don’t want to post this on the covid thread, I also don’t believe that the pandemic is some big conspiracy that was orchestrated by bill gates, so I don’t belong here either,
I think we’ve raped and abused this earth and it’s inhabitants for so long now something like this was bound to happen and will probably happen again!
Now, I did say nearly a year I believe the U.K. gov were perfectly fine with allowing it to rip through nursing homes and the older population, in order to reduce the numbers dependant on financial and medical support/aid, still believe that.
I think governments across the world are using numbers and skewed stats to control the public, not for a great reset or whatever it’s called, but I don’t like this level of control, I’m not comfortable with it. I’m not comfortable seeing what I did last night or seeing children and adults being left to suffer for this long.
I don’t know how I feel, I might change my mind in an hour and then back again, but what’s happening right now, I’m not comfortable.
