Percentage Fully vaccinated

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

When you don't have enough its a factor,we don't have that problem.

If UK had a population of seven times the size, you would have a problem.
Additionanly vaccinating 20 million is a lot easier than vaccinating 150million.

 

[Notch7]

When you take into account the size of the population, the supply of vaccine becomes the overriding factor.

indeed.

The US don't have that problem,we would have just ordered more based on population obviously

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

The UK and the US don't export any of their vaccines. They import them.

Ordering them and receiving delivery are two entirely different issues. EU has ordered the vaccines, they haven't ben delivered

 

[Charlie George]

indeed.

Why did you state that the EU would catch up on us then?

 

[Charlie George]

Ordering them and receiving delivery are two entirely different issues. EU has ordered the vaccines, they haven't ben delivered

Of course,but we ordered and recieved them didn't we,so we are doing better than the EU on vaccines fact.

 

[Notch7]

Why did you state that the EU would catch up on us then?

you are attempting a non sequitor
here is a clue: the rate of vaccine manufacture is not static.

there are a number of sites in Europe including CDMO Recipharm, Delpharm, Fareva that are close to commence manufacture.

so the EU will catch up

brexit damage to the UK will however continue for a decade and more......the stream of UK businesses leaving for the Single Market is ever growing.

 

[Charlie George]

Why bring Brexit up,just let it go,or start a relevant thread.

 

[ellal]

so we are doing better than the EU on vaccines fact.

And is that something to crow about?

Asfaik the virus isn't racist...

So if you believe everyone must be jabbed, then it makes no sense to say the UK is 'doing better'!

 

[sxturbo]

The EU has a population seven times the size of UK.

So now we are using the EU as a collective, last time I checked the EU isn't a country....

 

[Notch7]

Why bring Brexit up,just let it go,or start a relevant thread.

Ha ha ha

Your previous smug comment has been blown out of the water.....so you resort to deflection.


By the way, I only brought up Brexit because it refers back to the post of mine you were quoting.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

So now we are using the EU as a collective, last time I checked the EU isn't a country....

Why not address your comment to the poster that first presented the comparison between UK and EU

Racing ahead of the EU in total vaccines,and the gap will increase in the next few weeks.

That is not correct.

As ministers keep repeating, vaccine supply is currently the “rate limiting factor” in the UK’s vaccine rollout.
Britain currently has orders placed for 407m doses of vaccines produced by seven different companies.

That's about seven times the size of UK population. It's almost as though UK wants to stockpile the vaccines, or over-order to ensure sufficient supplies of vaccines developed for future variants of Covid.

Quite obviously, neither the UK nor the EU have received all the doses ordered so far.
The EU has used 22.5 million doses, very comparable to the real number that UK has used.
But obviously, due to population size, the relative percentages are very different.

Why start the thread at all
