In reply to Post #2042 kind of... but not just helping EU countries - and not just us doing the sharing either
I think we are already seeing the wealthier countries pushing to the front of the queue because they can afford to. it's small picture mindset because unless you are going to completely close borders, the there's little sense in acting in a way that means less wealthy countries can't vaccinate.
COVAX as a regulatory idea makes sense to me, but the UK - and others - bypassed their system and ordered in bulk direct from manufacturers
and of course - in all ways I think that the more fortunate should look to help the less fortunate. apparently that makes me a snowflake - although I'd argue that crying that you can't go fishing at night is far more flakey...
i think this makes a good point

In reply to Post #2040 Mal are you one of those people who think we should 'do the right thing' and give some of our vaccines to those EU countries who are struggling?

Don't think the EU are responsible for vaccine roll out. They don't control the health policies of member states You're conflating the issues of vaccine purchasing which is being done by the EU and delivery which is done on a country by country basis.
That said, delivery is contingent on supply. Not sure what's going on, but there appears to be some contractual disagreements between the EU and Astra-Zeneca.

EU vaccine rollout is shocking, looks like we left just in time or would be in the same place!

In reply to Post #2034 Murdoch has a new news channel starting over here. Fox style is the description of it. OFCOM approved it in the last few weeks.

In reply to Post #2032
Yep , we have all seen the videos and pictures relating back to the holocaust , the worrying thing is how politics can be used to turn people , against usually ethnic groups for political gain and usually to hide their own failings , we have seen this occur recently , it's a shame that people still fall for it !

In reply to Post #2029 He makes that point. As in, am I just drawing attention to it by making the programme?
I found it really interesting. The denial as a part and parcel of active antisemitism
As I said. Not for everyone

Just watching this morning, Seems the BAME community are serious antivaxxers........

In reply to Post #2028 But if someone promoted Holocaust denial stuff online and then, when challenged, just tried to shrug it off as an 'alternative view' that they didn't necessarily believe ... I'm sure plenty of people would be fine with that.

In reply to Post #2028 I've not seen the Baddiel programme and in some ways I don't feel the need.
It happened and anyone that says that it didn't should not be given any attention.
