Do we think this will be a vaccine update, a change to rules or just waffle?

I think they’re missing a chance there to reassure people about the vaccine, I think a lot of people are worried (I’m not, can’t wait )

catsareme14 · 09/11/2020 17:45

Watching it now . The more Doris waffles the more anxious I get . So many analogies, trains , stations , football matches !!🤷🏼‍♀️

@SpookyNoise

JVT shaking his head like we are all stupid.
He is standing next to Boris though...

'Rail replacement ' vaccine is about right.
Fingers crossed it'll be a success eh?
Army man speaks.

SpookyNoise · 09/11/2020 17:45

I can’t help but think that the cupboard next to JVT is full of vintage board games.

BonnieDundee · 09/11/2020 17:45

Poor lamb didnt think the job would be this demanding

loulouljh · 09/11/2020 17:45

Is he pissed???

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:45

JVT didn’t say that stupid journalist

Piggywaspushed · 09/11/2020 17:46

If you are going to completely evade questions, at least don't make it so obviously.

He visibly blanched when asked about teachers and vaccines.

SamsMumsCateracts · 09/11/2020 17:46

All I can see is Boris attempting to stand up straight at the bar, while Trump shuffles around attempting to not fall over.

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/11/2020 17:46

@loulouljh

Is he pissed???
Yes, I genuinely think so.

And yes he does smile, even laughs at himself when he flubs!!!

MackenCheese · 09/11/2020 17:48

JVT does laugh!! 😂

PicsInRed · 09/11/2020 17:48

R below zero - that's the Mars Shot.

SheepandCow · 09/11/2020 17:48

Not much faith in JVT.
He incorrectly said the risk increases dramatically from 50. Which isn't true.
It's actually 45.

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:48

Why is this journo asking a question we already know the answer to. I despair

MarshaBradyo · 09/11/2020 17:48

Ah I like JVT

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 09/11/2020 17:49

R below 0. Even JVT's been confused by all the analogies.

calamityjam · 09/11/2020 17:49

Is Boris actually ginger or has he always been blonde?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 09/11/2020 17:49

I think that depends on which 'dramatically' slope change you look at!

MercyBooth · 09/11/2020 17:49

@SheepandCow How come you know better than him?

pussycatinboots · 09/11/2020 17:49

No one has asked

  1. How many doses will you need? and
  2. How long will it take for them to get their arses into gear to vaccinate the nation, potentially twice?
Travelledtheworld · 09/11/2020 17:50

I honestly haven't a clue what Boris is going on about.
