I'll spell it out. 38 minutes ago, ordnance said: Back handers to who Whoever in government/NHS/ SAGE , who is is charge of procurement, who said we must have the mRNA vaccines made in other countries, at a much higher cost, rather than the cheaper home grown AZ jab?

The JVCI (whoever they are) have recommended a mix and match approach, what evidence they base this on is questionable, however they are very keen to make sure , whatever you had first, you have either Pfizer or moderna as a booster, both mRNA vaccines, it appears no recommendation for an AZ booster...WHY?

Was their brown envelope a bit light 🤔 They had to do studies before knowing it was safe and beneficial to mix vaccines, as for why using both mRNA vaccines i have already posted their reasons. Do you think Professor Wei Shen Lim and the JCVI are lying and getting back hander's ? The University Hospital Southampton are probably in on it as well. Quote Professor Wei Shen Lim, chair of Covid-19 Immunisation for the JCVI, said the committee selected the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines because they use mRNA technologies, provided “a very good immune boost” in studies. The JCVI cited data from the Cov-Boost trial published last week by University Hospital Southampton, which indicated that the Pfizer vaccine is well-tolerated as a third dose among patients and provides a strong booster response.

Do you believe they are recommending mRNA jabs because they BELIEVE its better than the AZ jab as a booster? Have they stated that the AZ jab is not suitable as a booster ? Can you be sure they haven't had a back hander, do you know them well enough to trust their integrity ? Or do you simply prefer to believe that when it comes to covid drug procurement, there is no favouritism, corruption, or brown envelopes. I still have those beans ?

Look back at some of the PPE procurement scandals , literally billions going into the old boy network, no oversight, no accountability, 'because its an emergency!

Unlike you i don't / would not make accusations of back handers regarding the Covid booster program without evidence. If you want to move the goal posts to general NHS procurement just say so.

Was their brown envelope a bit light 🤔 Nobody in Government / Sage is in charge of procurement. Nobody in Government has the authority to enact any sort of procurement. It is ring fenced for exactly that reason. It has been for decades. Seems to me you have been reading the loonie tunes antivax websites, many of whom make unfounded allegations of coruption. It is all done by the Civil Service with a mountain of checks and balances to prevent exactly what is being alleged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that hadn't happened, people would have been up in arms about 'government red tape'. (See: France or Germany) Does that therefore mean there weren't, ahem,, compliance breaches in the procurement process? Probably. The pharmaceutical industry's record is hardly stellar in this regard, and indeed in more normal times, the way they appear to operate would make most Defence contractors say "steady on, you're taking the ****, old chap". As for cross-immunisation, as it's called, happening all across Europe and other countries. Some cite the potential blood-clot issues of AZ. Personally, I won't be bothering, unless I'm required to for travel purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? 19 February 2021 The high court found that the government unlawfully failed to publish details of billions of pounds’ worth of coronavirus-related contracts. It was ruled that Hancock had “breached his legal obligation to publish contract award notices within 30 days of the award of contracts” after spending “vast quantities of public money” on procurement in 2020. Hancock declined to apologise. 28 May 2021 Hancock was ruled to have committed a “minor”, inadvertent breach of the ministerial code by failing to declare that a family firm in which he held shares won an NHS contract, following a probe by the prime minister’s ethics adviser. Lord Geidt, the independent adviser on ministerial standards, found that Hancock should have declared that Topwood Ltd – a firm owned by his sister and in which he held shares – was approved as an NHS contractor. But Geidt did not recommend that Hancock resign. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/26/a-timeline-of-matt-hancocks-controversies-and-breaches https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2020/09/24/no-conflict-of-interest-in-vallance-holding-vaccine-company-shares-hancock/ https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/971151/Covid-19_SAGE_register_of_participants__interests.pdf So tell me , if SAGE dont recommend a course of action, which the government often chooses to follow, how do you think procurement happens ? Does some faceless clerk just decide which vaccine will be best for us ? 😄 11 minutes ago, udderlyoffroad said: The pharmaceutical industry's record is hardly stellar in this regard, and indeed in more normal times, the way they appear to operate would make most Defence contractors say "steady on, you're taking the ****, old chap" Indeed , I know someone who used to work for Royal Ordnance in Notts, his job was literally to grease the palms of potential customers in charge of defence procurement. Its quite frightening to think some people dont think this happens in modern society, yet have full knowledge of other countries/cultures accepting it as a way of life ?
