I heard him on radio 4 this am and wondered if we had heard the last of him
he said that he has a certain supply and that it was gonna be spread over 4 weeks even tho it cd be used up sooner if they got their asrrisses into gear.

and the interviewer squealed that that meant people were protected later rather than soonber and in an epidemic that made a difference

and he sort of went 'blaaah'

vaccinators hanging around, or people hanging around dying..

[joeski53]

What were the vaccinators doing prior to this?? It does sound ridiculous!! You use what you have as quick as you can to save as many livs as you can surely?

[anneasquith]

Vaccinators ‘ hanging around’ isn’t a medical emergency. Strange logic.

[woofgang]

he if had said he was holding back the Pfizer to give second vacs to those who has already had firsts of Pfizer he just might have got away with it....

[237SJ]

He says he's not going to get another batch until early feb but the vacs are 12 weeks apart so I`m not sure what he means.

[anneasquith]

Whatever he ‘ means’ he may wish to take some medical advice . I hope other political leaders are not doing the same thing .

Labour Government writ large. The two "Health" boards in Wales with the worst historic performance figures pre-covid by anyone's measurements, are also the same "Health" boards that have given the least percentile number of vaccines, have the longest predicted waiting list, but the most people working on the problem. Perhaps he is saving the vaccine until the Assembly(ironic choice of name once again) can work out how to give it to supporters first and make it sound legitimate.

He gave another second interview wearing a dunce's cap
and a lapel button - I am a dockheed

and ofc ourse nothing cd be further from the truth ....
