Tory vaccinations will provide only LIMITED protection for a SHORT time
Complacent flag-waver: Dominic Raab seems to think that a display of patriotism and an inane half-grin will excuse him for leaving the UK’s population unprotected while lying to them that they’ll be safe against Covid-19.
First we were told everybody would be fully vaccinated. That didn’t last long!
It required people to receive two doses – of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine, three weeks apart.
Then the Tories sniffed a public relations opportunity and decided to go for numbers, so they said they would concentrate on getting the first jab into as many people as possible, meaning the second would have to be delayed until three months later.
Pfizer has already stated that this is likely to make the vaccine ineffective, the first shot long having worn off by then.
Now it seems the Tories are not sure they can even deliver this delayed service:
Cabinet minister Dominic Raab has refused to guarantee that all people who have received a first dose of coronavirus vaccine will get a second jab within 12 weeks.
The foreign secretary was repeatedly pressed in an interview on Sky News to give a firm guarantee that supplies of the vaccines would be sufficient to deliver the second injection within the target time.
But he declined to do so, instead saying: “We absolutely are aiming for that We should be able to deliver it… We’re quietly confident”.
The meaning is clear but for those who need it spelled out, here it is:
The UK hasn't vaccinated 3million people, it has given them partial, temporary protection. I can understand people being happy- but don't fall, yet again, for their spin.

and what happens if, as suggested by both sage & alternative sage, we need to have it yearly [ as we do with flu vax]?
What else would we expect from this crapp Govt .. its like well I’ve been given a really good job.. but well I don’t know effall about it but.. I’ll do it anyway…
Typical corrupt and crooked fascist tories refusing to give it’s peasants the two doses of vaccine! All that money being saved so the fascist tories can hand it over to their greedy corrupt male owned corporate companies!
Did anyone really believe the corrupt and crooked fascist tory boys would spend money on giving two doses of the vaccine to us peasants??? I immediately noted that fascist corrupt tory boy Raab didn’t say this ‘we fascist tory boys will ensure everyone has the second dose of vaccine within 12 weeks!’ No he said this: ‘We absolutely are aiming for that We should be able to deliver it… We’re quietly confident”. Meaning – stupid peasants you aren’t going to be protected – once again we’ve fooled you stupid morons!
Don’t forget the pfizer vaccine has to be administered in two doses with a 4 week gap not 12 weeks or even years between the first and second dose!
Fascist corrupt tories are responsible for continuing their state instigated mass murder of thousands and thousands women and men!
Don’t fall for the fascist tory lies – the vaccine won’t work because the fascist tories are refusing to spend public money on administering the second dose within 4 weeks of the first innoculation!
