Matt Armstrong's Dog Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Why is the vaccine rollout in Scotland delayed? Just checked again just now to see when approximately I will receive my first and second jabs and it keeps getting closer to Christmas each time I check. I know also from observation it is not being administered in relation to when you were born as folk younger than me who are not defined as locksmiths have received their first jab already.

You must be very young MAD if it's saying December Edit even for 18 year olds the predictor returns a result of July Link to comment

Originally it was the first week of April, now it is the second week of May (for the first jab). The second one is now due by the second week of August having originally been scheduled for the start of July?. Both governments have been perennially patting themselves on the back for the alleged successful rollout of the vaccination program and it really boils my shite to continually hear this when it is fucking propaganda?.

Parklife Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Their plans were both massively ambitious. They were shooting for the stars. They're doing great on the vaccine front IMO. Link to comment

May is not really Christmas though is it? You could be getting your first jab in 3 weeks. Link to comment

I was being facetious, young Hanz?. I never actually said it would be Christmas, just saying that the rescheduled estimated date of my first jab is closer to Christmas that the originally intended date of vaccination. Link to comment

I can only presume that it's dying a death and there will be no more on it cause it was a farce and ridiculous to try and even implement it. Israel have one in place but I think very few places are using it. As infection rates remain low there, I doubt there will be much change from that. The test for them might come if virus prevalence rises and they want to keep everything open while still stopping spread. Link to comment

The vaccine doesn't stop you catching or spreading it though I don't think? Just stops you becoming ill? Link to comment

Not sure. I think that was the initial belief. Not sure if they've done more research on it or not. Ive stopped listening/reading to every bit of Covid news these days, so it's entirely possible I've missed things. Link to comment

My daughters granny caught it at the same time she did, the old girl had already been given the 2 jabs, barely registered as a mild cold, daughter was worse but still not so bad. The granny puts it down to the protection from the vaccine, given her age could well have been a life saver. Could be coincidence I guess. Link to comment

Hopefully that positive outcome is an accurate reflection on the effectiveness of the vaccine on a bigger scale. Link to comment

Spot on you received your second jab min?. I know the predictor is designed to just provide an estimate, however, it seems to be dragging on now. Patience is not one of my strong points though,?.

manboobs109 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 They've opened an 'asymptomatic testing centre' along the road from me. Watch the figures go up so we can go back into level 4. Fucking complete nonsense. Link to comment

Good advice. We’re clearly in a decent place but they keep rolling out the most pessimistic, negative, doom and gloomers they can find with predictions of third waves and mutant variants hiding in the shadows. Some ‘expert’ on today mentioning a possible summer wave which although not improbable doesn’t really square with how things went last year or give much credence to the effectiveness of the vaccine which a heathy majority should have received by then, at least in part. I’ve said it before that the government need to show some faith in their own vaccine programme and that it will accomplish what it needs to do. There has to be a collective acceptance that it’ll be around for years to come and we’ll just have to get on with living with it. People aren’t going to keep accepting having these measures imposed on them ad nauseum. Link to comment

We've had plenty to time now to get an effective track and trace system so there's no excuse that that, combined with the excellent vaccine progress shouldn't allow us to get back to something close to normal by the summer. Id be all but banning foreign travel too for the time being too, in order to protect our progress. 1 Link to comment

daytripping Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 We're down to 4 new cases, 5 yesterday. Just about wiped it out in time for the travel ban to end. Queue minks from glasgow and the central belt arriving to infect us again. Should never be a nationwide thing, each area on merit is clearly the way to go. Link to comment

As you open things up the virus spreads more so I can't see how you go down, only up. Add in asymptomatic testing and what do you get? Lockdown. Link to comment

I've got another 3 weeks for my second. Link to comment
