Boris Promises To Jab 13 Million People In Six Weeks.

[Sunk]

Hope he does.
That is 2 million plus a week until mid February.
It is Boris’s own goal, no one has told him to do this.

I can’t help but think this is over ambitious. I’d love that to happen, but I would be surprise if they managed to do it. 8 or 9 million if we are lucky.

This happened in April when Johnson kept saying there would be so many test in a month, and he was always miles off the target.

Why doesn’t Johnson just give an achievable realistic prediction and do it.
The worst thing anyone can do is over promise, and under deliver. But Boris keeps doing that.

The EU drug regulator approved the vaccine 3 weeks after the UK. They have only been vaccinating for 10 days, so of course they are behind us now.

The graph is a bit misleading. Israel looks to be miles ahead of the UK, when in reality they have vaccinated a similar number of people to the UK.

that odd i wanted to see vaccinations by total (3rd chart?) and it was 3/01

woofgang - "They are not the people who are most likely to get the disease seriously, to end up in hospital, to end up in ITU, to end up dead! Would any of these people go and look their own parents or grandparents in the eye and say "I am having vaccine instead of you because I am more important"

Groups of key workers that have zero option in self-quarantining, are not claiming "I am having vaccine instead of you because I am more important"

bobbinwales - "Teachers and others are allready being lined up for priority in phase 2 seven OP " ... "Vaccination of those at increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 due to their occupation could also be a priority in the next phase."

"could" and "in the next phase." might be rather late for dead people who had key worker occupations.

bobbinwales, where is your posted "Phase 2 according to gov.uk- "
