But not Pfizer or Moderna right? Which was/is the worry/gamble.

I've seen no posts doing such a thing?
It’s a difficult position for Ireland to be in. The EU-Ireland ferry routes likely won’t have the capacity to take the strain off for a few years. And there would be disputes with Brussels if Ireland decides to ease up on applying the letter of the EU customs rules on imports from Britain so soon after Brexit.
Presumably some of the delays will abate as suppliers get more familiar with the paperwork.
As I Iive quite close to the Paris-Toulouse-Spain motorway, have been on it five or six times already this year, about 100kms each time and have not seen a single UK or Irish registered truck on it at all which is in stark contrast from pre-2021.
Plenty of trucks from Spain, Portugal, NL, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Lithuania etc. and France of course.

If you struggle to get past the first few words of a post, maybe that is why you have missed it?

People who voted for it would have died. You see the fallacy of this decision.
Boomers are famously altruistic and will have been voting to benefit the generations below them and more than happy to sacrifice their own comforts in return.
This is a few years old but I can imagine, in the year 2060: My great-great grandfather voted for Brexit and we still haven't seen anything but despair and a downward spiral of the UK since: Tory PM , now 50 years of Tory government in a one party state - Don't worry, only another ten years to go and the sunlit uplands will be ours.
50 years is a stupidly long time to forecast anything. How would we even know to attribute any benefits to Brexit?
Which is exactly the point - it’s so vague as to be meaningless. I doubt his hedge fund markets investments where you can expect (maybe) to see a return in 2071.
We're sacrificing ourselves now so that our great grandchildren won't have to work with Polish people.
It's not meaningless in the sense that he is essentially telling people to shut up and move on. Because in 50 years the vast majority of the population will have lived almost his entire adult life in a post brexit UK, they won't even know the difference.
It's almost like he's incredibly wealthy so basically nothing can affect him, stands to benefit further financially from Brexit and is both wildly out of touch with the people of the UK and doesn't give the slightest feck about anyone who isn't of his vaunted peer group other than Mary Poppins, who is his nemesis.
I wanted to say that it’s meaningless as a prediction. It does have meaning as an admission of the utter futility of Brexit as it scuppers the one “serious” argument of its supporters - namely the chance to re-orientate and rebalance the UK economy. It doesn’t take 50 years to achieve that - look at New Zealand after the UK joined the EU or even Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed. In essence it’s JRM with his pantomime toff patter telling his prole supporters to just go away and concentrate on football or reality TV while he and his cronies make hay.
Let's have another Brexit success story...

What is amazing is that some people are so surprised, even people involved in the businesses affected by Brexit. 100% certainty.
I understand the idea behind, but Pfizer didn't recommend doing it and there is 0 data. what if in 2 month immunity disappears and you have to start over? What if it mutates in stronger virus that makes the vaccine(s) immune? Is pure gamble because there is no data and puts not only the UK at risk but the whole world
But they're taking that risk to try and smash down that curve right now. I mean, the main downside is needing more vaccines. If that means no overpopulated hospitals and everything that follows from that, then I see how that can be considered worth it. In any case, I would still say that it's not a gamble, it's an action that carries a considered risk.
Maybe it's a terminology thing at this point; working at the government might have done this to me.

And I said that I understand the idea behind and the reasoning and is a good strategy short term but you are gambling the future to make it worse in long termBut they're taking that risk to try and smash down that curve right now.

I didn't say I worked in politics!
Also, that may be the worst (indirect) insult I've ever had. What a day! ('Dear diary...')
Ah, you're a part of a government death squad. Say no more.
I can't or I'd have to kill you. Them's the rules.
Since we were talking about it here, I'll just add a link to an article Science published just two days ago on the pros and potential cons of delaying the administration of the second vaccine dose:

I know this doesn't belong here and discussion should go to the COVID-19 thread; but just for those that were posting here and were interested in the topic (outside linking it to Brexit).

Your post started with a straw man (celebrations), continued with an interesting delve into the realms of blatant obviousness (vaccination process not finished) and had an obvious misnomer as the masterly crescendo (denunciating Tory/Brexit apologism, despite it never having been enunciated).
You're a good poster. Don't let a difference of opinion on any matter sully that credibility.

Brexit: End to Gibraltar land border prompts joy and trepidation
I wish I hadn’t read that article. I now want to punch Andy Wigmore in the face. It’s one thing dragging your own country out but now threatening to campaign for ireland to get out. What a thundercnut.
Also he’s another privileged cnut

Rather takes the shine off it.
Because they will be working for polish people?
Bold of you to assume that Polish companies will want to hire uneducated Brits. We'll be lucky to have textbooks in our schools in fifty years let alone holographic laser beam cerebral cortex implant books or whatever the rest of the world will be using in 50 years.
Somebody's gonna have to go over there and do all the jobs the poles don't want.... cleaning toilets... picking fruit etc etc
After the Polish plumber, the British brickie? A new version of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet set in Warsaw but with added red tape.
/thread. Loads more in this boat. Something has to give surely for this to start getting some traction on the news?

"The Tory party is no longer the Tory party" he states. Reads to me like he is a long time Tory voter who has finally been fecked over by them. I have little sympathy for people like him who voted Tory for years (probably because he thought they was good for businesses) knowing they fecked over most of the country.
Having similar issues as this guy, currently paying 3.7% tarriffs on all goods we're moving between UK/EU due to 3rd country rules of origin that nobody seems to understand or can agree on.
