As I have said, my comment was not necessarily aimed at anybody on here, but there appears to be a negative told surrounding the whole vaccine rollout before it’s even been given a chance. 
My comments were more driven by negative headlines such as the below:

The choice of wording of ‘less than half’ is clearly aimed to show that the rollout won’t be the success that many are expecting. All I’m saying is, why is this not spun as ‘All vulnerable’ will comfortably be vaccinated by Easter, with this being extended to almost half of the population.  

I hear you though I guess one justification is that people hear about vaccinations a lot now and if you ask the man on the street when we'll be done with them, I suspect most would say within 2021.

So there is an argument for using news to measure people's expectations to what is more realistic (if the predictions are realistic, that is) and they do at least come from a credible source i.e. a government agency.

‘Extreme caution’ for Christmas. Aren’t people supposed to be showing caution at the moment and cases are still rising?

BoJo's licked a live electrical socket before this or what?

Hair is at new levels of ridiculousness!

Fabricant has got a nerve talking about smarmy lawyers. He's the smarmiest man on the planet!

PM straight in with a lie followed by 'why won' you support me?' It really is textbook Johnson.

Starmer answers more questions in PMQs than the actual PM!

Let’s not start questioning people’s mentality in their life without knowing why they might be feeling that way, it’s not really fair.

Why is it just you who is allowed to police what people say on here? 

No one was questioning anyone's mentality in life. You are quick to shut people down when you don't like what they are saying.

Johnson’s stumbling over this answer!

He really is, he’s on top form today. Johnson didn’t have an answer for the Cummings question. 

[Guest]

Johnson saying Starmer wants to impose ‘endless lockdowns’. Johnson himself has been the only one to actually impose a lockdown and the 2nd one was longer than Starmer originally wanted!

That last question was brilliant.

Johnson proceeding to reply by doing exactly what it said in that Tory newsletter.

Excellent 'roasting' from Keir.

I think as they build capacity we could expect 200-400,000 vaccinations a week. I’m not expecting millions, this is a marathon not a sprint

I agree. Not me disputing that.

Even at the top end of your figures there it's going take nearly 8 months to complete phase aka the first 9 groups. 

Some are expecting many millions per week, magical cures and it'll be over by Easter.

That was a nice moment, as we all had a good laugh at our PM during a pandemic. The house and speaker joining in too.

He’s a national embarrassment.

The negativity is weird to me and it's not just here but twitter, news etc. For the first time since this all started we can actually see a way out. Who knows how long it will take but there's a clear path to normality.

absolutely! 🙂

Currently there's little reason to think vaccine roll-out for the oldies & vulnerable will slip much past easter (as long as there's vaccine to use), plus the govt is on the run from its own raving right MPs who want restrictions to come to an end asap.

Considering I always see the back benchers checking their phones why doesn't anyone pull him up on this sort of thing?
