Good News Thread Number 4. Because that positivity just keeps on coming!

[FuzzyPuffling]

Here it is....number four thread of science and positivity!

More good news! Delighted :)

You’re all too quick for me with the good news!
BBC report: Moderna becomes third Covid vaccine approved in the UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55586410

The European Medical Agency is now saying that they hope to approve the Oxford vaccine by the end of January.

Some great news coming now. We're on a roll!

Really pleased to hear the gov have ordered another 10 million doses of the Moderna vaccine. They’re building a very strong portfolio.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel sorry I didn’t mean hide them, just maybe don’t shout about them in the scary way they do now (the media I mean)
Or focus on them in a positive way of course.

Is the j&j vaccine the one that’s one dose or is that novavax?
Do we know how quickly we could get the j&j one if it’s approved...?

J&j is one dose. Not sure about Novavax.

March/ April if this is correct Tea

I'm hopeful for good news on 15th Feb, as it's also my birthday!

Thank you! Lots of positive stuff ☺️

Oh, it's better than that, I really should read more closely. From my own above link ...

Taskforce adviser Sir John Bell said he was hopeful J&J supplies could reach the country in time for British vaccination rates to pick up by mid-February.

I understand the UK have ordered some of the Moderna vaccine, but it is another that needs to be kept at low temperature. Hopefully by April, that won't be such an issue.

I'm so annoyed by this phrase I have just read (Daily Mail so I am not surprised): "But so far the UK's vaccination scheme has been plagued by supply and staffing shortages, logistical problems and bureaucratic barriers strangling its scale-up, meaning only 1.5million have received at least one dose so far."

I know the Govt is rubbish, but this is totally untrue. 1.5 million is a brilliant achievement!

I think by “bureaucratic barriers” they mean “approval of a miraculous vaccine”!

Bearsbearsbears40 - I see that "only" word - it irks me so much!

What has that journalist done to save humanity?

Nothing just written drudge to make people feel depressed

Tg for scientists

For those who don't already, the vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi is worth a follow on Twitter as he retweets a lot of positive vaccine related stories.

They could have put a different slant on it- dedicated and determined NHS staff have overcome supply and staffing shortages, logistical problems and bureaucratic barriers to deliver an incredible 1.5 million doses!

This from the local rag - Superdrug and Boots both administering vaccines.

God damn daily fail. What’s worse is that a very many people will start parroting this as though it’s fact.

More lovely news 😊

Am sure it’ll start ramping up fast from next week. Before you know it, it’ll be “can’t believe we’re only vaccinating 1.5 million a day, laughing stock of the world, what an utter shambles!”

It's infuriating isn't it. It's so far removed from what I'm seeing from people in RL. People generally seem to be feeling a lot more positive outside of here.
