Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

A gap of 12 weeks is now thought to be optimal for the Astra Zeneca jab, Troy.

Troy, i have booked mine, both 1st and 2nd with dates and times through the NHS site. You should have got your dad to contact the surgery because he should be getting the second about now.

The problem of course lies in the supply of the product: if pharma cannot supply a vaccine then states cannot distribute it. The EU have been badly let down and in the aftermath it will no doubt ensure no repetition. Crtainly, AZ fucked up badly in their Belgium plant and failed in its contractual performance.

But this is all to miss the point, the world will spawn mutant viruses as long as the billions remain unvaccinated and these will in turn defeat current vaccine campaigns in much the same way flu jabs are superseded by variants. Boasting in puerile, bombastic terms as trumpeted by Bozo the Clown Johnson may well inspire the parochial and stupid English Brexit morons but any short term accomplishment is inevitably made redundant if the pandemic continues to flourish elsewhere.

But let's get back to planet reality and reflect on the latest news that reduced EU trade in recent months has so far lost Brokendownbrexitbritain over £5 billions in trade that has reduced by over 40% in January alone.

Great deal there and it looks like NI is heading towards conflict as the protestant minority of 300,000 whine to Bozo to rip up the withdrawal agreement and take NI out of the EU trade bloc.

You stupid blinkered fool. The EU let itself and hundreds of millions of its citizens down in fumbling the arrangements it made with multiple vaccine providers for their protection.

Utterly disingenuous spin. Trade was down in January and was virtually back to normal by February. Everyone expected that. Divorces rarely occur without bumps in the road.

Large majority of returning trucks are empty, which is the new normal.

However, it is too early to tell what effect Brexit has had on trade with the EU. So far, the effect on trade with the rest of the world has been a big fat 0%.

You twat.

The EU has made a pigs arse of it. The UK paid up front to get manufacturing built and ensure its supply.

The stupid eurotrash bastards fumbled about trying to get deals and turned down hundreds of millions of doses to ensure the cheese eating surrender monkeys got some business, and and then decided to attack Astrazeneca when the froggies came out and admitted their shit vaccine won't be ready this year.

Why the fuck do you defend these incompetent buffoons?

Even their member states are going elsewhere to get vaccines because they know it's been royally fucked up by their "masters".

If I read it correctly, there is no maximum interval between the first and second doses for either vaccine. CDC: Gap Between Vaccine Doses Could Be 6 Weeks.

I seem to recall the predictions that trade would be greatly affected resulting in a contraction of GDP were dismissed by the Brexit rabble as scare-mongering.

So, here we are five years down the line, growth has been stunted by Brexit, £5 billions has been lost since January alone and over 40% of all British companies exporting to the EU have reported a signifucaqnt adverse impact that they foresee will only worsen as the costs of negotiating re-erected trade barriers imposed by Bozo bite harder.

The fishing industry has collapsed and the financial services sector continues to haemorrhage funds to the EU market centres, and despite the stupid claim that the Brexit devaluation of the £ was a mere blip, it still remains 15-25% less against a basket of currencies.

You Brexit mongos have fucked your country for five years and it's getting worse by the day.

Scavenging as bottom feeders hunting for scraps in the third world's bargain basement, banana republics ain't going to get you out of your hole you have dug for yourselves and that's the truth.

Eat it up, Brexiteers were always losers but they were just too fucking stupid to realise it.

Quite simply, you are merely farting in the breeze of your Brexit effluence .

The EU contracted the same deal as the Brits but at half the price because of economy of scale ( Bozo is throwing away public money but that ain't new is it and the £30 billions he has squandered so far will be paid for by taxes sweated out of you lower class saps ) a mere two months after the Brits. All EU states had the right to go their own way but elected to take a measured course that catered for the needs of the less affluent and developed. That they took this noble course but were subsequently shafted by AZ and of course Pfizer doesn't detract from the sentiment.

But do remember 'Arry, the EU is a complex significant association of states comprising the largest, wealthiest civilised trading bloc in the world, and not a tinpot third country of diminished status hawking itself around the bazaars of the third world scrabbling for crumbs fallen off the table of the global players.

If I read it correctly, you are taking a risk if you administer the second dose after the recommended interval and, in the case of the Pfizer vaccine, that's 3 weeks. The extension is then to 6 weeks and it's now more than 9 weeks since my dad had his first vaccination. The advice of no maximum interval is pure speculation and not based on any scientific evidence.

Not it didn't, for a start it was three months behind.

Now the whole fucking thing is in a shambles.

What a useless bunch of cunts. If they spent more time worrying about peoples' lives than fucking bananas being smuggled into Northern Ireland or whatever, maybe they'd get somewhere.

Five EU leaders complain about vaccine allocation gulf

Five EU member states have called for a summit to discuss "huge disparities" in vaccination deliveries across the bloc. The Austrian chancellor suggested some nations may have signed secret contracts with manufacturers.

The reason three weeks was the initial recommendation for most of these vaccines is because that was the interval during trials. It didn't mean longer periods were ruled out.

As they do more research, they get more data. That's why they are now saying AZ is best left for 12 weeks between doses.

How is the noble cause going you idiot. You seem to be ignoring the country level deals being struck by EU members outside the joint programme. You are also conveniently glossing over the fuk ups on vaccine misinformation which has caused perfectly good doses to be left unused, all the while the EU throws its little tantrums over supplies. You and the EU do align perfectly, both full of hot air and little substance and how quickly the facade slips when the going gets tough. Much like your crying to mods when it get pointed out that TDs intellectual made a monumental mistake in buying a flat in pattaya and shacking up with a bloke he can't export.

Har har har.

Well this is fun.

Prof O’Neill said it was a “cock-up” from Astrazeneca that led to one of their two European plants in the Netherlands not receiving authorisation to produce the vaccine for Europe. He said “the word is” that the shelves are lined with vaccines in this plant and once Astrazeneca provides all the requisite documentation to the EU, it should “clear the logjam”.

‘Ridiculous and stupid’ for excess vaccines in Northern Ireland to not be given to the Republic, says Luke O’Neill - Independent.ie

Wops and Gopniks to the rescue. Maybe some rebranded Sputnik will find its way to the UK.

You've described yourself.

Within a matter of weeks the UK has provided the first demonstration of many to come of why life is better outside than in. Nevertheless, twats like you will try to spin anything to your advantage. The UK is leaps and bounds ahead of the EU regarding the vaccine but all you can do is sneer. Had the opposite been true, you'd be sneering at that too.

Biased, blinkered, and too bitter to admit you've got this all wrong.

Look SoCal, how is your own roll out working in Canada, you know the one dependent upon the US. I think you'll find you may be lining up for the Ruski or Chinky jab, certainly no one in the UK will be.

There is one thing, you share a lot in common with dearly departed Buttfly although he was less in the closet

So, despite having four years in which to plan for the return of trade barriers imposed by May at the Tory party conference in October 2016 when she announced the ERG policy of withdrawing from the single market and customs union, it seems the required 50,000 customs agents necessary to factor British trade with the EU have yet to be recruited and the current 'teething' problems will in fact be the modus operandi for the next year and longer. Indeed, the UK government still hasn't even organised import/export control systems that were meant to be in place by the summer but are now postponed until next year. Might as well be a third world country, eh?

The loss to trade revenue is of course seismic and the future for hundreds of companies and small traders is continuing, decreased profits, and even bankruptcy for many. £5 billion lost already and its only March, a mere three months after the signing of Bozo's wondrous trade deal that heralded prosperity for all including herds of prancing unicorns.

And yet, a recent poll shows that the English have complete faith in Bozo to lead them!!??

Does anyone with a functioning brain need any more evidence to prove that the English must be perhaps the stupidest folk on the planet?

A man who has lied throughout his life in posturing his narcissistic sociopathy, to his employers, his children, his wives, his girlfriends and to the entire British public, a man who misappropriated £120,000 from the public purse to sate his sexual appetite with an American floozie, is the right prson to lead the country even though his incompetence killed over 100,000 people?

Indeed, Brokendownbrexitbritain probably has the right man at the helm as the country cuts loose of its moorings in the Bay of Plenty and heads out into the shallows of uncertainty and the reefs of economic failure.

And it seems maybe the Clown was a tad hasty in his trumpeting of the AZ vaccine. Looks like Pfizer and others are the better bet.

Wouldn't that be a laugh, eh? Five million English codgers pop their clogs with aneurisms. Still, silver lining, eh, cuts down on the pension benefits.

You come across as desperate in this and many other areas.

It's the inevitable response of a credulous halfwit whose world is teetering on the shifting sands of his naive stupidity when his ignorance is exposed by facts and the truth.

Such is your jealousy of the UK's success, you would find the death of five million people amusing.

Meanwhile, proper scientists have correctly ruled out the odd death as being related to the vaccine while the pikey alchemists drag their heels.

And you'll end up growing a second head when you and the boyfriend get your chinky vaccines.

Poor 'Arry, he's such a, well, typical artisan without any real comprehension of the world beyond that which derives from the UKIP/ERG play book for the Stupid or the Daily Mail/ Daily Telgraph leader comment.

Look, to paraphrase, one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.

Funny isn't it, 'Arry, how you are quite sanguine about the 100,000 + who actually died, the greater majority of whom did so as a consequence of Bozo's ineptitude and the incoherence of his government, yet you get exercised about a mere hypothesis illuminating a worrying development.

What silly little fellows you Brexit morons truly are.

Not at all, I blame it on all the stupid fucking retards who have consistently ignored calls to isolate and wear masks, and are in the young demographic known for hating brexit and not washing their hands.

The government should have been stricter in enforcing lockdown and withdrawn benefits from the soap dodging remainers who defied it.
