Our very own Dr Pip Beard featuring in this article in the Telegraph earlier this month.
Dr Beard, who runs a research team at the Pirbright Institute, said: “While the animal may not die, your
production losses are really quite significant.”

“She walked everywhere. She put her party shoes in a bag and donned her trainers. She walked. Zara believed that a woman should be able to walk home…She was in the heart of her community, ten minutes from home.

Trying to keep objective.
But looking at the numbers around boosters, my main concern is that the results are being absurdly undersold.
Most people are sick of COVID, sick of being told what to do, and are thinking of boosters are a nice-to-have.
They are transformative.

We love an Israeli preprint right? 😝
This one is showing a booster (third dose) is cutting infections like crazy across all age groups. In other words, severity and transmission will be heavily impacted by a third jab. Figure 2 is what you need.

Pfizer have reported 25 cases of blood clots from 11 million vaccinations.
AstraZeneca have reported 28 cases in 10 million.
Both vaccines are equally safe & effective.
Why have the EU suspended one, and not the other?
The answer? Politics. #AstraZeneca
