Clearly fantastic new this morning. My only worry is that Gerneration Snowflake will now decide they don't need to wear those nasty oppresive masks anymore as we're all safe already

Think the anti mask boomers are just as bad to be fair....
I also read the list with numbers of people in. As I’m in level 8 there are approx 37m in front of me so that’s 74m doses to go. Mmm could be here a while then as only 400,000 before xmas.
I’ve searched and can’t find such a list - can you post a link please, or cut and paste from it? I’d be interested to see it.
This priority list is as follows:
- residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
- all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
- all those 75 years of age and over
- all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals[footnote 1]
- all those 65 years of age and over
- all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
- all those 60 years of age and over
- all those 55 years of age and over
- all those 50 years of age and over
In response to 'why have UK Gov given Pfizer legal protection?'
I liked the answer I heard earlier today which went alone the lines...
Pfizer are not saying the vaccine is 100% effective - they are being totally open about it being 95% effective - and so this protection is against claims being raised by the remaining 5% who are given the vaccination but still contact the virus. Nothing at all to do with the vaccination causing serious side-effects...
do pfizer have protection if it causes side effects? yes or no
All drugs have side effects...do pfizer have protection if it causes side effects? yes or no
All drugs have side effects...
The question was 'why do Pfizer have legal protection?'
The answer was '...because the vaccination is not 100% effective'

Nothing at all to do with safety concerns or the vaccination causing serious side-effects...just that the vaccine might not work for everyone - and the government is happy to accept that (what vaccine is ever going to be 100% effective after all...)

The answer was '...because the vaccination is not 100% effective'
and yes - it will have some side effects...but these are clearly deemed acceptable as they are with any other drug. But clearly if I am vaccinated and think I am safe then go and get seriously ill as I am one of the 5% then I might be a bit upset.
But I am not going to hang about waiting for a vaccination that is proven 100% effective as that might never turn up. because as I hang around waiting there is a much greater chance that I will pick up the virus and with no protection could develop Covd-19
If anyone is interested, the Oxford vaccine interim results have been published in The Lancet
Oxford vaccine results
Well having seen the roll out of the vaccine this morning I've changed my mind and definitely won't be getting it having seen the side effects.
The woman that had it first seemed fine but the guy that went second came out thinking he was William Shakespeare.
The taming of the fluOh, To be ( vaccinated) or not To be, that is the question.
I read a bit and especially the part about the half/full dose producing a better result than full/full. Does it mention this was serendipitous?
