A very good point from a correspondent last week; since it's been rushed through, who knows whether or not there are long term consequences? Particularly appropriate for those of us who have believed in the Long Tail consequences of Covid (often worse than the initial infection). I've called Covid19 a "parasite virus" which leaves consequences long after it has left our bodies. Could the vaccines be similar? Parasite vaccines? Giving long term consequences? Might someone quite capable of recovering from a common cold be killed if they catch one in 2024, having been vaccinated for Covid in 2021?

I don't understand why the appointment card for the second vaccination is dressed up as some sort of immunity guarantee card, and if, as they are now saying, the vaccine only stops you getting very ill and doesn't stop you passing it on, what would be the point of identifying anyone who has been vaccinated?

The Queen and the Duke are lined up to have the vaccine very soon I understand. Risky strategy given their ages and so likelihood to die anytime.

If one of them dies soon after, then half the country will refuse to take the vaccine!

I did read something about them testing the vaccine to the same levels as normal just doing it a different way with more people - so hopefully is sound.

I am worried about them "Accidentally" giving half the dose to some people. How the hell did that happen? And what else has "accidentally" happened?
