But we have got them and have even given them away, so not convinced that's the reason.As far as I'm aware Australia has borrowed 4 million that are probably close to the expiry date and we will pay them back when we get our batch later, we have just done the same for a 0.5m with Singapore.

Pfizer.
Quite astonishingly, the JCVI has said today that its remit in deciding whether to vaccinate teens only extends to assessing whether there is any net benefit to the teens themselves. They are not taking into account whether vaccinating teens would have a huge benefit to the country as a whole.The Govt has said that the CMOs may overrule the JCVI.Which raises the question: why is this only coming out now?
Yes of course they should. And the bigger question is why this wasn't addressed two months ago if we actually did have the vaccines.
That's the trouble with you Billy, everyone that has a different opinion to you the subject descends into an argument instead of a discussion by byour own admission.
Ldr.Nope. I'm wanting it to help them by helping the country as a whole recover as quickly as possible. Which will help their future prospects.
Syd, I know, it's hard being me.

I'm a selfish psychopath who is prepared to sacrifice children for my own benefit.

Quote from: bpoolrover on September 05, 2021, 07:41:44 pmNumbers not to bad at the min as a lot of the schools have began testing and there are 200k plus more test being done Early days.Most schools are staging return this week. My youngest doesn't even go in for a return-to-school test until Wednesday. And then it takes several days before all the results are reported.Meanwhile, Monday usually sees the lowest number of new cases reported each week. But we've had 41,000 new cases today. That's up 50% on the figure three weeks ago.I suspect we are going to see a very big increase in cases over the next week and a half. That will give a clearer view as to the extent of the problem. But what really matters is whether mixing kids again, with zero social distancing, kicks off another cycle of infecting the wider population and leading to more older/vulnerable people getting bad doses. We won't really know that for a month or so.
