Good News Thread Part 3

[FuzzyPuffling]

New thread as I got worried the old one was going to run out of space!

Anyone else tearful?!

Best morning of 2020!!!!

Happy days!!

So relieved to see you all posting!!

Yes yes yes! Happy days.

Fantastic news! So happy!
And just heard Matt Hancock say it can go to all adults too (after high priority groups done first, I hope they include teachers as well as healthcare social care staff).
That was a gamble that has paid off for him. He must be so pleased

Matt Hancock is smiling!! Regardless of politics, I am pleased for him too. Shitty job...and he stuck with it.

Anyone else tearful?!

Absolutely!!!

Just went on another thread by mistake and it’s full of misery guts. One poster asking if they are going to publish the list of vaccine ingredients

Super news! Form an orderly queue

This is the most amazing great news made me feel quite tearful so much misery around at the moment, this news is so needed!!

Had to come on this thread to celebrate, lol.
Yesterday was such a shit day, today we have hope.

@FourTeaFallOut

66 million in UK - 18.9% of under 16 = 53m - 20% those who don't want it = 42.4m (Ish)

And we still have smaller amounts of the Pfizer as well. And a few other potentials down the pipeline. I guess the MHRA will be back to work soon.

Great news! I'm full of what I hope is a cold today so this has cheered me up a bit!

Chinese chicken I saw you on the other thread and thought "ah, there is the voice of reason. And the voice of someone who's been following the science"
I'm sticking round here..safer, happier and much more science!

I could cry so happy

PHEW

I’m cheating as I work in this area

How wonderful. This is huge news. Yet the most active threads are someone wondering about a rude email and another who thinks their sister is after their husband!!

Is this the weird world of Mumsnet?? What is wrong with people (or is it just me)....

My mind is boggled by the number posters who have decided it is in fact bad news.

It’s doing my head in! I need to stop replying on threads that raise my heart rate

I guess some people just live their lives in misery and cannot even take good news. It doesn’t matter what your politics are this is life changing.

Yeah that’s mumsnet for you! If it had been around when humans discovered fire there probably would have been a thread about how their cave neighbour copied their fire

A lot of people seem to be hung up on "but it's only 62% effective! Why would I have the Oxford vaccine, and not the Pfizer vaccine!"

Well, for a start, you won't get a choice

And yes, it might be "only" 62% effective at stopping you from getting CV completely, but it seems to be 100% effective at stopping serious illness & hospitalisation.

Which really is all it needs to do, isn't it.

Yes, I give in. Some people are so balls deep in their persecution complex that they wouldn't know good news if it jabbed them in their arm.

Hurray!! Thank goodness for the scientists!

Also thanks for everyone posting here, kept me sane during the wait.
