Fur farming is banned in the UK but 22 EU countries have fur farms as does the USA and China..China is the worlds biggest producer of finished fur garments.
China these days is the biggest for just about every rotten practice you can think up.
I continue to check the country of origin - a labourious task - and if I identify that it is from China or has content/parts I can identify from China, I don't buy it - unless I have absolutely no choice.
So true there muttley, but as an old timer lol! I think the attitude of ignorance, no respect, cant touch me and being generally thick is getting stronger in this country building into a very large minority, this can be seen everywhere and by this the smaller majority is suffering.I also think the partying that went on by the Brits last night before lockdown and bars shutting just showed how pathetic we are as a nation. The acceptance that it is OK just to spread the virus for one more big night is alarming when you think about it. I just wish we could tax those idiots more than those of us that follow the protocols.
Roll out of the vaccine begins in December.
Health workers and front line workers in care homes first.
Then anyone over 80/the vunerable, then age groups from 75, the 65 and so on and so on.
Just think we might all be at our new stadium come the spring for our last game against Villa that clinches us the PL title!! (ok, I'll stop the happy pills in due course).
How safe will this vaccine be?
I'm worried about the lack of long term trials.
Vaccines take 10 years plus to be licensed for a reason. A few months of trials is not enough evidence.
I will watch from a far and watch the lab rats take the risks.
Goes to show though when the world comes together vaccines and medicines can be achieved.
Can the world come together and find a cure for cancer? For me this is the one that really needs attention.
It would be nice, but I'm not sure it will be that easy. The Pharma companies will over commit and under deliver and there will be the inevitable procrastination.
Also, surely nobody knows how long the immunity lasts for after taking the vaccine.
Then there is RD's point. A large percentage of the population will refuse the vaccine because it hasn't been tested over a number of years.
I'm not ready to declare victory yet.
It only has to last long enough to kill the transmission down to almost zero, this vaccine and the new drugs also annouced will be the end of this virus, in a year you'll hear little - except of course those nations who haven't had their vaccines yet.
No Pharma's have overcommmitted, the known capacity (currently) for production is well know, new manu plants are coming on stream in the next 12 months as well.
Of course standard will have to be maintained, every production run will have to pass a battery of tests before being shipped. But these protocols are like bread and water to this sector of our global industry.
A large percentage of the population are pretty dumb, but I wouldn't let that sway my judgement.
So perhaps I'm not getting it. Unless the t-cells are the dominant reason why the Covid virus is fought by the body, then the anti-bodies will always die out, just like they do with the winter flu jab. So the percentage or the population that don't get given the vaccine or very realistically refuse it, can re-infect the folks whose vaccine has expired and antibodies gone. That is, unless we're prepared to keep vaccinating a significant amount of the population for a long time.
Perhaps I'm being dumb.
