Fortera make bricks for the UK domestic market being supported by the Tory ponzi scheme. So what if it is building a new factory? Sounds to me like the current management have forgotten about the inventory issue downturns in 2008/2009...

Re Germany - that'll reduce the need for the AZN vaccine, which is good news for Brits and any other country that would like to buy excess from the UK plant.

It is, of course, important that as many folk as possible world-wide get the jab before even more variants occur.

Contrary to stoned, I think Boris has done well.

Had my jab on Monday, and the missus had hers yesterday - at 70.

If I should disappear...

AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine should not be given to people over the age of 65, Germany's vaccine committee has said, citing a lack of sufficient data to recommend use in older age groups.

"There are currently insufficient data available to assess the vaccine efficacy from 65 years of age," the committee said in the resolution made available by the German health ministry on Thursday.

"The AstraZeneca vaccine, unlike the mRNA vaccines, should only be offered to people aged 18-64 years at each stage."

The European Medicines Agency is expected to make a decision on whether to approve AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine on Friday.

Germany's announcement comes after after Michael Gove said that AstraZeneca vaccines that have been "planned, paid for and scheduled" will go to the UK, and not be diverted to the EU.

Yesterday Brussels had demanded that millions of British-made coronavirus vaccines were diverted from the UK to the EU in an increasingly bitter tug of war over the jabs.

Pierre, my old man was in a care home - luckily for only a couple of months - and the experience has changed my views totally. Half the people in the place would be far, far, far better off in the ground.

It's not that these places are dirty or smelly or have cruel staff - those days are well in the past. End of life just tends to be frightful.

Think we ought to demand America sends us some of their vaccine. Now what would their response be...

How many times is weve prevented the EU from killing themselves now?

No way.. I say,We must not give them a single dose before all our citizens over 50 and anyone at risk get their dose.

EU vaccine row explodes as Brussels orders 'spot checks' on AstraZeneca factory in Belgium


THE EU has ordered a spot check on AstraZeneca's vaccine factory in Belgium in the latest blow from Brussels against the coronavirus jab provider.

Belgian medicines agency inspectors were sent to the plant on Tuesday, it has been reported, amid growing tensions between the bloc and AstraZeneca. Belgian Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke confirmed experts of his country were joined by Italian, Dutch and Spanish colleagues to draw up a report on the vaccine plant.


The report is expected to be published within "a few days" from the experts' visit.

EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides said there have been "constructive" talks with AstraZeneca chief executive Pascal Soriot after telling the firm it is contractually obliged to send jabs produced in the UK to 27 EU member states as the bloc faces supply shortages.

Mr Soriot has argued supply chain "teething issues" were fixed in the UK ahead of the bloc because Britain signed a contract three months earlier.

But Ms Kyriakides said: "We reject the logic of first come first served.

This is hilarious: Germany do NOT recommend the AZN vaccine for over 65s. Given that this is the cohort who are scheduled to take the first 200mn European doses, it appears that each European country has its own thought process, irrespective of the EU missives, and the whole thing is turning into a fiasco even bigger than the one it was yesterday.

They cite lack of data as the reason for their stance. There may be more to it than that, but let’s see.
