"In the meantime, a live experiment in lengthening the dose interval is underway in the United Kingdom. Bieniasz says he can’t say with any certainty whether vaccine-resisting viral strains will result. “But if that was my goal this is how I would do it.”" sciencemag.org/news/2021/01/c…

Surely this should put pressure on our gov to speed up timescales for a second dose...????

And this info should surely put pressire on UK gov to speed up second dose? haaretz.com/israel-news/th…

Sky News has picked up on the Isreal data too...surely this is enough evidence for our gov to change policy & stick to the advised 21 day timeframe? news.sky.com/story/covid-19…

"The European Medicines Agency has said that the gap between the first and second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine should not exceed 42 days."

"The US news site STAT referred to the move as “effectively turning [the UK] into a living laboratory.” It accused the UK of basing its new vaccination schedule “on small slices of evidence mined from ‘subsets of subsets’ of participants in clinical trials." Bmj

This bmj article is good as it gives both sides of the argument... but looking on google it's certainly disturbing to see in the press all of the Countries 'looking on' as the UK conducts one big vaccine experiment on its citizens. bmj.com/content/372/bm…

URGENT!!! Please sign and share this petition: "Ban vaccines being administered in a manner not fully tested in clinical trials".

If you're not convinced this is needed please first read thread above for further info. #COVID19 #CovidUK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5661…

There is something about history repeating itself with this Gov... delays, acting too late, causing more deaths.

Pfizer is found to be as low as only 33% effective after first dose not 89%!!!! Vallance has said they will keep an eye on the numbers...
