AstraZeneca's boss says firm 'can't make at no profit forever'

AstraZeneca is set to start charging nations wanting to buy its UK-made Covid vaccine more after making more than $1.2billion (£860million) in the first half of the global jab programme.

Can't blame them. They are a business afterall, already gave a billion vaccines away and would still be the cheapest to buy.

You do realise that there is other data on the dashboard and that it's easily accessible by clicking on the word data!!! The dashboard actually has data for admissions upto 25/7 and data for patients in hospital upto 28/7

AstraZeneca vaccine 'has same risk of blood clots as Pfizer's'

Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine is just as likely to trigger blood clots as AstraZeneca's, according to a study in Spain that has prompted fury among UK Government officials.

The EU have been disgusting the whole time. Lives are at stake and they have used the opportunity to pour scorn on the UK vaccine for our cheek to leave the EU instead of keeping shut they decided to slow the roll out by putting doubt in the heads of people about the safety of the product.

There has been some really underhand tactics from Pfizer, their studies were apparenty done differently to AstraZeneca so their vaccine appeared more effective than it actually was. AstraZeneca were testing all their cohort of test subjects for covid at regular intervals so their data includes people that had covid but didn't present with symptoms, Pfizer were only covid testing their subjects if they showed symptoms so their data does not include any symptomless cases, giving an appearance of being more effective.

Go to healthcare in United Kingdom, down to patients in hospital, click on 'by nation' and pick England. We've 126 less hospital patients than the day before

Covid struggles continue to intensify with Sydney at breaking point

Defence Minister Peter Dutton confirmed on Thursday night that 300 personnel would be deployed to help NSW Police enforce the strict restrictions on millions across Sydney.

Sydney are in a mess they won't get out of for the rest of this year. Australia did well at the start but aren't we glad we are not there now.

Sadly this isn't an isolated case as the press have mentioned quite a lot of these stories over the months.

Talked about this in other student circles but this was going to happen from either the government or the university themselves. It’s very likely that the government will give freedom to those that continue testing as I imagine otherwise they may be seen to be discriminating people, and there’s the whole issue with international students potentially not being able to get vaccinated in time for the term

Anyway, my university has basically said way before our age group was offered vaccines that we would be required to either show negative tests or have the vaccine to use facilities such as the library. Not unreasonable to think that it would have applied to lectures and seminars too really

so who is going to police that? I’m a university lecturer and there’s no way I’m asking to see students Covid status before they come into class

Big drops in protection coming from Israel even for hospitalisation

Thankfully Covid is just slow news day fodder at the moment. Everyone is out there living and enjoying what we used to have.

Not really the question to be asking me though, is it?

Im just saying that the majority of students I talked to in other places were expecting these sort of measures

if anything, why is the government even targeting the young population which couldn’t escape being affected by COVID? Again, most students I talked to are keen to have the vaccine and have booked it

Cannot really come to such a conclusion based on such a small sample size.

 

[monga]

I think it’s evident going by what’s happening around the world, even China can’t contain this one.

Looks like the data is true

Australians are in for a long haul

The push is on for pregnant women to get jabbed

It was more a general ‘wtf’ than a specific question, though I appreciate how it came across

I don’t blame you. We have a holiday abroad booked for July next year. In fact this time next year we will hopefully be there! So good to have something to look forward to. Hopefully things will be a bit simpler travel wise this time next year.
