Interesting how the meaning of words can change significantly over time. As a young man I recall the last thing you would hear anyone admit to was having had a dose and being on route to the doctors surgery.

"The country's health ministry has asked an independent vaccination commission for its opinion on administering the second shot later than 42 days after the first."...while the UK just took it as a political decision without asking medical experts...

You're right. I should have said politically independent.

I wish it could have been given to my 79 year old wife as I will still have to avoid everyone else until she has hers. However I am happy not to be part of a political experiment not approved by Pfizer!

I wonder how many people will refuse a first jab on the basis that the second won't be administered in accordance with Pfizer's recomendations? I suspet not many.

You're right. I should have said politically independent. What are the political afflictions of the JCVI? Two of them appear to be Dutch

They're a government-appointed and government-managed body. Not one that's independent of government. And, no, I do not trust this government not to lean on them.

...but Dieselgate has shown how Germany does like to cheat. Umm, VW and Merc were the only companies even to try to sell diesels in the US, where the emission standards were FAR stricter than in Europe, simply because they didn't differentiate between the two. You know that they were only ever found guilty of breaching the US regs, right? And if the entire nation of 85 million people can be held responsible for two corporates, what does that say about the UK when we consider the actions of RBS in the global financial crisis?

the Reuters piece has the Germans seeking advice for 2nd shots beyond the 42 day max they currently foresee.
42 days ? I know it's the answer etc but is 42 days a max established currently ?

Cabinet ministers have to observe them, too. So do SPADs, like Cummings. So do the MPs whose venture capitalist wives get appointed to head vaccine taskforces and splooge hundreds of thousands on tame PR people while giving advance notice to other venture capitalists. So do cabinet office "anti-corruption champions" whose wives get appointed to head track'n'trace. You'll excuse me for thinking Nolan is anything more than a four-letter word in Westminster these days.
