By January 1 in the UK - equaled only by Israel

Netherlands and France were quite slow, with Germany and Denmark moving fast

530,000 more vaccinations are scheduled here for next week - with a very challenging schedule thereafter

Credit where it's due - the UK was also the first to give approval

You think we are doing good? I think its crap!

Totally love this..Uri Geller being vaccinated in Israel and snapping a spoon in half at the same time.

I'm really fond of Uri..met him twice and found him him charming, friendly and chatty.

I also saw him bend a spoon given to him by a butler,,finest silver..and from 2 feet watched as he rubbed it, held it aloft and it just snapped in two.

Other weird things happened to other people who were there at the time as he warned. Two people's key twisted out of shape. the lady I was with found her mother's broken watch she carried for sentimental reasons, suddenly working. It worked for about 24 hours and petered out again.

Doesn't he look good for 74? Almost as slim and handsome as JK.

Uri Geller is a British-Israeli mystic who is taking part in an awareness drive in Tel Aviv to urge the elderly community to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

I think it is a bit early either way to say how we are doing.

We have been quick to licence the vaccine here. Over the next 2 weeks will this huge mobilisation/opening of hundreds more vaccine centres happen? I have little confidence in this Government to organise anything.

Why weren't the army mobilised over Xmas to get the centres ready? Why didn't they have a mass campaign for volunteers to assist them? Why are they trying to remove the red tape involved in being allowed to administer the vaccine NOW and not weeks ago.

There could be an impressive mobilisation this week; or more drawn out fiascos and data manipulation over many weeks...

If Boris says tens of millions by April this means there won't be. Guaranteed.

By whom?

Very firm commitments were given by Boris tonight - and endorsed by the Opposition.

The vaccination program is our nation's future, and deserves all our support.

Well I do humbly beg your forgiveness for undermining the national effort Barney by harbouring thoughts that Boris is prone to over promising...

I will aim to reduce my thought crimes as the year unfolds....

Nobody is going to object to us all being safely vaccinated, obviously. But to support them blatantly lying about it and giving people a medical treatment they haven't consented to? No! They can get stuffed!

Vaccination is voluntary.

But strongly recommended.

No. They (sensibly) agreed to have the first part now and the second part three weeks later.
They agreed to a treatment that would leave them fully protected.
The manufacturers say there is no evidence of protection after three weeks.

Now, it may or may not be the best thing for these people to be left with either less or no protection and end up as unwilling volunteers in an experiment they did not choose.

It might well work out ok, but that isn't the point.
It is not ethical. Matt Hancock (or possibly the manufacturers) has lied about the efficacy. They cant BOTH be telling the truth. It stinks.

When we take away the right to properly consent to medical treatment, we are in trouble.

And so it goes on: in the press conference this afternoon, idiots like Robert Peston asking for guarantees that this target will be met and this aim will be achieved, etc etc - any sane person understands that all of this depends to a great extent on public compliance, and no scientist or politician can 'guarantee' that unless they opt for martial law. You may as well ask a journalist if his newspaper can meet its sales targets - it doesn't entirely depend on them! This coverage just HAS to start including the public on its list of significant and culpable actors.

Aside from your personal perception Rick, can you point to evidence of a systematic breaking of restrictions by a majority - or even significant minority - of people in the UK?
