				 The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines being given to millions of people in the UK by the NHS are extremely safe, with some mild expected side-effects, says the country's drugs regulator. 
 
It assessed safety reports from nearly seven million doses given up to 24 January - mostly with the Pfizer jab. 
 
Some 22,820 suspected reactions were reported. Around three in every 1,000 people vaccinated were affected. 
 
Almost all cases were mild, such as a sore arm or flu-like illness.

 Ah, I suspect they were referring to the over 50s  plus those with health conditions.  Which is over 50%.

 It’s not an "EU snub" - it’s a country in the EU (also in Europe and Iberia, so you might as well have posted "Latest European/Iberian snub to U.K. and Sweden") following it’s sovereign medical regulators advice.

			In the valley of the blind, those called Hugh sees least. 
 
People will recall the 300 million doses each ordered by the EU from Biontech (DE) and Sanofi (FR).  Something about maintaining France/Germany balance?  People might also recall that Sanofi is now delayed due to efficacy problems.  
 
And these fools are now damning the AZ vaccine and Germany is setting up to make Sputnik V. 
 
Politics, politics and utter foolishness.

			It’s a fairly cynical PR campaign aimed at reassuring the voters of Europe that the UK is being irresponsible, and they really shouldn’t compare our apparently miles-ahead vaccination programme with their clown car effort.  Don’t underestimate the profound cognitive dissonance sweeping the corridors of European power at the moment.  They have royally fecked up the one thing that was supposed to simultaneously prove the strength of the EU and the diminished state of the UK.
