John52 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just wasted 15 minutes of my life listening to Matt Hancock on the BBC claiming the credit for the new vaccine from Belgium, since Britain is the only country to approve it. The obvious question is what are the side effects. But, that wasn't asked. Neither was how will Brexit affect our imports of essential stuff like this from the EU. It was as though Hancock had scripted the questions himself in advance. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe63xnotuse Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 John52 - 2020-12-02 7:57 AM Just wasted 15 minutes of my life... :-S I don't know how to break this to you John.. but you've wasted far, far more than that on here.... (lol) Re; Vaccine approval. Surely this is nothing but good news? (assuming that is safe and effective..and I can only trust the medical experts and scientists etc on that). If it saves lives and is the first step towards us getting back to some sort of normality (seeing family and loved ones etc ), then I couldn't really care less who "claims the credit"... I get the irony of it coming from Belgium...but stuff does, and will always, come from "abroad".. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 So the vaccine developed by a German Company team led by a Turkish and Greek married couple, and manufactured in Belgium and Germany by a partnering American Company is somehow a great UK boasting point because our Regulators read the data faster and maybe skipped a few pages? One things for sure, its a great example of how countries excel when they pool resources rather than shutting up shop and putting up barriers.

Lets hope the distribution plans have as little to do with the Tories as possible before you cast judgement on that on a vaccine that needs to be stored at -70c.

Dave stated that the British vaccine you know the one that can be kept in a refrigerator that will save the world. Just a point if we were still in the EU we would have to wait for the EU to licence the Pfizer vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently are still under EU rules and regs but we still are allowed to approve it ourselves for our own use which is what happened. Handcock tried to make out it was because we left the Eu (We havent properly left) that we could speed that process up but has egg on his face now as its been exposed as complete bollox. I normally do read Daves posts properly as I always like a good laugh but on this occasion you are correct. I missed the bit about the Oxford Vaccine. For once actually he may have a valid point. Especially if our government get anywhere near the logistics program of distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L&G were always pretty good but Reassure are a shower of s**t. I had a crucial date to terminate mine and what a carry on. It took over a month in the end to get all the money, days of being on hold (literally) and they messed up and lost half the paper work. I ended up taking them to the Ombudsman and a complaints case is still ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Jarvis plc, because they run the sharedealing & custody services for Building Societies & other brokers, so you are dealing direct instead of through a middleman https://www.x-o.co.uk/ Also have some in Halifax Bank so as not all eggs in one basket, but its a bit of a faff having 2 platforms and some say I am being overcautious: https://www.iweb-sharedealing.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
