Germany not approving AZ for over 65s

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

More likely reacting to supply problems - quickly.

The Brexit aspects are interesting. When we signed our contract we were in it. While in it their is no reason why a country shouldn't do it's own thing in areas like this as all have their own approval bodies - eg Germany currently a bit different to EU based approval.

Whoops other than full EU info wont be available until later today.

Aren't Hungary already using the Russian vaccine that does not have EU approval.
Whoops, refuted your argument.

The same connections that exist between UK government and UK media?
Surely you can see those connections, so please point them out to me.

"A government source has said..............." Is an often used opening statement by UK journalists.

Are you suggesting that the UK government are more complicit in 'leaks'?
Or that the UK media are more disingenuous?
Do the German reporters not use such opening statements?

Scratch head re your comment. The EU is one thing and the member states are another. Any state can approve any vaccine they like. The EU will approve some the media suspect it may match the German one on AZ but wont know until they release. A state may then choose to approve it differently. Some may adopt the UK one dose and a delay route. Some might dream up something else.

The answer was 'yes, they are'. It reinforces what you have subsequently said.

Apologies, I may have misunderstood your earlier comment:

I thought you were referring to the vaccine not being available.
I now see that you were referring to the information not being available, I think.
I accept no blame for that misunderstanding, some times your comments are so woolley and mangled, it's difficult to decipher your intended meaning.

If you think you are capable of reprimanding the teacher, what does that say about your opinion of yourself?

Tabloids eh?
You can't trust 'em.
You can't say that about UK tabloids though.

Which German tabloid broke the story? i think you will find it wasn't a tabloid but a highly respectable financial newspaper.

The EU rather than it's member states have approved AZ without age limits. Germany is the only one that has said not over 65.

highly respectable financial newspaper.

Possibly hoping to increase the value of the shares of a certain German company.
