When Labour get back in they will be just as corrupt and inept .

Nothing as changed over the last 50 odd years ..

They just take it in turns to take the pizz and line their pockets

The UK government definitely are not doing everything right. Especially the fact it took nearly a whole month for any real action when this first started and then not following any of the rules they dish out

https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2021/1...3-shots-study/

BioNTech and Pfizer have said a three-shot course of their Covid-19 vaccine was able to neutralise the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test.

The companies added that they could deliver an Omicron-based vaccine in March 2022 if needed.

The news came in the first official statement from vaccine manufacturers on the likely efficacy of their shot against Omicron.

BioNTech and Pfizer said that two vaccine doses resulted in significantly lower neutralising antibodies, but that a third dose of their vaccine increased the neutralising antibodies by a factor of 25.

Blood obtained from people that had their third booster shot a month ago neutralised the Omicron variant about as effectively as blood after two doses fought off the original virus.

"Ensuring as many people as possible are fully vaccinated with the first two dose series and a booster remains the best course of action to prevent the spread of Covid-19," Pfizer boss Albert Bourla said in the statement.

Though the necessity remains unclear, the companies said they would continue their effort to bring an Omicron-specific Covid-19 vaccine to market, which they kick-started when the new lineage first raised global concern among scientists on 25 November.

A planned output of 4 billion doses of the Comirnaty vaccine in 2022 was not expected to change if an adapted vaccine was required, they added.

The findings are broadly in line with a preliminary study published by researchers at the Africa Health Research Institute in South Africa on Tuesday.

It said that Omicron can partially evade protection from two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, suggesting also that a third shot might help fend off infection.

A lab analysis at the university hospital of Frankfurt, Germany, however found a reduced antibody response to Omicron even after three shots.

The US-German vaccine partners also struck an optimistic tone on the prospect of their shot protecting against any severe disease from Omicron, even though the lab data did not yield new insights on that

Johnson said sorry for the ITVnews clip


We are in a Pandemic
saving lives is more important
than a year ago event.
It really is isn't, if you have the rule makers breaking the rules.

Those families who lost loved ones will always have as important to them that loss of their loved ones.
Not just for a year but the rest of their lives.
Who they were NOT allowed to be with while they were even dying.

While those who made the rules that they couldn't be with them.
Were partying in a gathered grouping of people.

It's extremely important but it doesn't surprise me that Con supporters won't see it that way.
Preferring to dismiss those who've lost loved ones to make more easy things for this creep,( I make no apologies for calling him that either because it's one of the nicer words I use to describe him), who we have as Prime Minister of the UK.
He's a disgrace.

I think vaccine passports are a good idea.
They have them in Italy and you can get them even if your not vacciatwd, doing a test.

[Omicron 'growing much faster than Delta' - PM
Boris Johnson begins his news conference
with a warning: the Omicron variant is
spreading much more rapidly than Delta.

A total of 568 cases have been found
in the UK, and the doubling time of infections
appears to be between two and three days.

Mr Johnson says the "remorseless logic
of exponential growth" means we could therefore
see a "big rise in hospitalisations and deaths".]

[England is moving to Plan B measures
From Monday, people will be advised to work from
home if they can.

And from Friday, face masks will become mandatory
in most indoor venues.

These include theatres and cinemas,
although they will not be required when
it is not practical - such as when people
are eating, drinking, exercising or singing.]

[The NHS COVID pass will also be required
for entry into nightclubs and venues where
large groups of people gather.

These are unseated indoor venues with
more than 500 people, unseated outdoor
venues with more than 4,000 people,
and any venue with more than 10,000 people.

The passes will still work for people
who have had just two doses of a
COVID vaccine, although this will be
kept under review.

This latest measure will be introduced in a weeks' time. ]
