Re: The Covid19 thread
With respect ...... if it's on the TV it must be true.
Try for example https://www.rai.it/dl/doc/2021/02/19...ATO_REPORT.pdf I can't lay my hands on the link for the UK contract at the moment, someone else posted it up on this forum when I had said it wasn't available, and I was wrong. It's available online somewhere, maybe someone else will be able to give you the link. Edit - try this link for download of pdf of UK/AZ contract https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...F1XPioOeuUenlA

Re: The Covid19 thread
uh oh!
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1824322.html So the people that worked on the under performing test and trace (which has a budget of £37 billion) will now be working on a vaccine passport. What could possibly go wrong? In my naive, simplistic world view - you'd primarily need a vaccine passport for foreign travel. You need a regular passport for travel, the NHS knows whether you've been vaccinated. So if you're travelling, send in your passport to the passport office, let them contact the NHS to verify you've been inoculated and your passport gets stamped. Would this work, of course not. I'm sure the NHS records can't be opened to the passport office so it would need a new office to be set up in the NHS as point of contact. The passport offices are usually swamped in normal times and wouldn't be able to handle the work load. I'm sure we can come up with a lot more expensive way of doing it (and then buy the forged documents on ebay a week later).

Re: The Covid19 thread
Surely you can't be suggesting there is fake news on tv !
I haven't read all the links you have given but I did notice the 'best reasonable efforts ' term was used in the AZ/EU contract , which I think was being given as an important difference between the AZ/EU and AZ/UK contracts. |

Re: The Covid19 thread
Has Westminster said it is ok for us to holiday in Scotland ? If Holyrood wants to keep visitors out, that's ok , I won't bother going. I'll go somewhere where there aren't so many midges !

This copied from the AZ/UK contract link “Best Reasonable Efforts” means the activities and degree of effort that a company of similar size with a similarly-sized infrastructure and similar resources as AstraZeneca would undertake or use at the relevant stage of development or commercialisation, having regard to the urgent need for a vaccine to end a global pandemic which is resulting in serious public health issues, restrictions on personal freedoms and economic impact, across the world but taking into account efficacy and safety;

I confess I haven't trawled through every item of the UK contract so can't really give any impression as to what has been redacted, whether there was some form of preference or priority clause within the contract or whether there was a similar separate agreement/contract. General opinion seems to be that there was something of this sort of priority agreed. Kate Bingham (vaccine czarina) was interviewed on the Today programme (BBC Radio4) in January and was asked that specific question by Nick Robinson, and she paused and said she didn't want to discuss such details. It would have been very easy to simply deny it. Seasoned interviewers like Nick Robinson tend to only ask such questions when they already know the answer.

Re: The Covid19 thread
As I alluded to earlier, the difference is which legal system the contract was written under. Even if the wording is similar it means different things under each system:
