I think on a music festival message board it’s a legitimate question to ask. It doesn’t suggest the OP doesn’t give a shit about anything else. Of course there are much bigger things to be worrie

So...OX/AZ, blood clots, suspension of vaccinations, politics, vaccine hesitancy, convoluted data, PR problems, Brexit, EU procurement naivety, poor logistics, national identity...there’s an awful lot

A while since I/we posted because just like everyone else we get fed up of this shit. So just like to say..... For the first time since last March we are free of covid patients 😊

By 12 weeks in-between, id say its definitely a lot more likely.

 

A LOT of my friends need a light at the end of the tunnel. I know everyone on here loves a tight lockdown, but loads of people want some deadline so they don't give up

 

I just want the focus to being things done properly, not giving people false hope, not throwing out random sound bights - just get the job done efficiently. 

People should realise that the end is now in sight, but stop putting so much pressure on dates. It's literally what got us back in this shithole mess.

Kudos to Astrazeneca.

I think it's disgusting that Pfizer and Moderna make a profit given what is at stake here. Not sure how their execs sleep at night.

They make a great profit on everything else. For once, just for once and for the good of the vaccine reachest the greatest number of people, they should sell it at cost (fine to factor in all their previous R&D costs).

Pfizer at least didn't take grant money for R&D so took a risk in its development.

Moderna however did and having benefited from that, now they want to sell at the highest price. Shameful really. As an absolute bare minimum they should all sell it to the third world at cost.

If they’re that confident they should put their (our) money where their mouth is and offer to cover music festivals coronavirus insurance. Will they do that? Let’s all go to the bbc and submit that question for the press conference post haste!

I don’t know much about the subject but hasn’t Biden promised the vaccine will be free for all Americans and will foot the cost? At least this isn’t going to an extreme charge for the average American

I don't follow.

Which first world countries are charging their citizens for the vaccine?

Can someone nip round and wake up @crazyfool1?

Was just thinking the same. @crazyfool1and @Ozannehave pretty much been camped in this thread for the winter and when there's actually something to discuss, they're not here!

Reminds me of the time when @Gnomicidemissed the lineup announcement after twelve months of build-up...

And @Toilet Duck. Be interested in his take on the 12 week thing.

Really well, in their massive, comfy beds I'd imagine

Ah I see - sorry gave a read again. Yeah selling to third world countries at a profit isn’t great, but I wonder if there will be alternative efforts deployed to get the vaccine to citizens who can’t pay

So we will get this before the EU? Need to be careful because I might be giving the mail content ideas here...

They haven’t asked for EU approval. 
 

Something tells me the large government funding came with a caveat to make sure we had it long before the EU does.
