I have no doubt there are areas in Tier 3 that have 0 cases per 100,000. So what?

Lancaster is below the national average, guess what, tier 3 for there too

Why would you put an area with a 0 case rate in tier 3

Because it's impossible to define geographic areas so small and not have people flout the rules.

I knew it would take something special to compete with VAR as unfit for purpose, looks like the latest Tier restrictions have accomplished that :D

Seems we're taking it seriously now, about time.

'Eat out to Help out (and help spread a deadly disease) was a massive own goal, and whilst I love pubs, I can cope without them.

I rather thought you might Den. Just as I knew you knew what I was talking about without resorting to pathetic pedantry. ;)

Having circa 2000 people in an outside 40,000 capacity venue is not a risk. It’s rediculous that it’s taken this long.

Doubts are growing over the Oxford vaccine claims.

The Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine is coming under increasing scrutiny, with critics questioning the claim that trials showed it could protect up to 90% of people against coronavirus.

Quote:
AstraZeneca may run further trials to assess the efficacy of its Covid-19 vaccine, the company's chief has said, after experts raised concerns over the validity of its data.

AstraZeneca and Oxford University on Monday reported that a lower initial dose of the vaccine, followed by a full dose, produced a 90 per cent efficacy rate, compared with 62 per cent for two full doses.

However, Moncef Slaoui, the scientific head of the US's Operation Warp Speed - the programme to supply America with vaccines - told US reporters that the half-dose regime, which was discovered by accident, was only given to adults aged 55 and under - throwing the validity of the results into question.

What a surprise, Americans don’t like the idea that a vastly cheaper and more manageable vaccine might be about as effective as the two cryogenically cooled, eye-wateringly expensive ones developed in ... America.

The Oxford vaccine works, the headline announcement actually went with the average of all test results in any case (70%, which is still very effective), and even on Monday they were quite explicit in explaining where the 90% sample came from and how they were following it up.

Americans have protectionist instincts. No surprise there. This is a non story.

Maybe. We all bow to your scientific expertise.... Lets hope whoever decides which vaccine is best for us, isn't swayed by jingoism/what's cheapest.

While I'm equally sceptical of American input/insight into anything trade related as they'll have obvious protectionist tendencies and they have another dog in this race I look forward to more data and peer review to clear matters up.

I'm sure we all want a vaccine that works, and not just the cheapest one we can drape in a Union Flag.

I have access to the same data as you old chum. I simply lack the need to believe everything that happens in this country is doomed to fail.

Yes that's right. I want a vaccine that has no ability to induce an auto-immune response. I'll have to check with my GP about all that.

It seems that the Oxford vaccine meets my requirement. The Pfizer vaccine seems to have seriously active components being RNA based.
