I got my Covid jab at Guy's on Wednesday and just marvelled at the way in which the entire vaccination facility was set up and operated.


The facility is housed within a temporary structure but this has been really well designed and obviously no expense has been spared. There are large forced ventilation ducts that provide fresh air delivery to eliminate the risk of cross infection. There are separate sections dedicated to initial waiting, injections and post-injection holding. Every seat is immediately disinfected immediately it is vacated. All the staff were marvellous and operated the facility in a friendly and above all professional manner.


Well done to Guys, the NHS and the Government for getting this up and running. They should all take pride in knowing that the UK has totally out-shone the Europeans and the USA with the way the UK has handled the vaccination programme.

Surely, during any crisis, such as this pandemic, it pays to look for the positives.

Is it not possible that approval by MRSA was rushed/pressurised by UK government in order to gain early approval and thus score points and gain popularity (that might go some way towards negating the appalling indecisiveness they have shown over the last year)? If anything untoward does emerge (such as long term side effects)in the future, perhaps we will not be quite so gung-ho.

If the MRSA was persuaded/influenced to accelerate the approval then every credit for doing so. Since then there has been no country which has said it will not give approval. Getting an early approval here in the UK meant that we secured early supplies and organised an effective mass vaccination programme. Apart from two small countries (Israel and the UAE) no other nation has achieved anything like the UK's roll-out.


As for the risk going forward, then it is an issue of known facts against "unknown unknowns" as Donald Rumsfelt would say.


Fact - Covid19 is a highly contagious disease with horrendous symptoms that can be lethal. So-called "Long Covid" can also be extremely debilitating and life changing.


Unknown unknowns - Here it comes down to probabilities. Untoward effects can be discounted as vaccines have been around for decades and have brought immense benefits. Extensive phase 1, 2 and 3 trials have been conducted and these have failed to show any side effects.


If you think it's gung-ho does that mean you will decline to take the vaccine if offered it?

If you do then you will be in a very, very small minority of the population.

A rational person is able to hold a various number of opinions, including contradictory ones, at the same time, so I can say bravo re the vaccine and boo-hiss re other aspects of Covid-19 response. The vaccine development and rollout deserves applause and thanks.

      Interesting solution to owning a cargo bike

      By Rockets · Posted

      Quicker than a car…crikey how fast do they go?   I have PTSD from a folding bike I had as a kid that snapped in half when I did a jump! I look at things like this and Bromptons and get the fear which is why I stick to sturdier bikes!

      National Travel Survey and cycling policy in London

      By Rockets · Posted

      Earl…that isn’t misinformation it comes from the very report the 20% increase (in cycling stages) claim was taken from and regurgitated by many without actually checking the facts. Unless, of course, you are saying that TFL is spreading misinformation….;-)   Here are all the reports: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/travel-in-london-reports   Then scroll down to the Travel in London 2023 - Active Travel trends (pasted below to make it easy for you to find) and then you’ll find everything I have quoted from page 13…. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-2023-active-travel-trends-acc.pdf   And I am actually shocked that, despite all the investment, that growth has been minimal…hardly the 10x growth Will Norman claimed was coming…..   Cycling made up 4.5 per cent of trips in London on an average day in 2022, up from 3.6 per cent in 2019.

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

      Because it's affordable and plenty of choice.   It's a changing and will continue to do so. As with most areas going through the gentrification process it will be all about the night time economy meaning a saturation of drinking holes and ' cool and vibrant ' licensed eateries. Brixton mark 2. I think Covid slowed down the pace of change in the next ' up and coming ' areas and has given many prospective ventures itchy feet and pause for thought because there's less footfall and disposable cash than there was pre covid. Brixton for example is much quieter and visibly down on numbers in both bars and eateries. Across London clubs and music venues are dropping like flies.
