France change jab rules

They're saying that those previously infected already have a level of immunity, so will only need one jab for coverage.

That will speed up the coverage, if true.

That runs totally contrary to the advice from the manufacturers?
We all kicked off here when we moved from the 2 jabs in 3 weeks to 12 weeks - would be good if true but why have the scientists here not said that, as we are a nation riddled by Covid and those who’ve recovered?

Quite.
 
AstraZeneca advised the second jab works better with a gap of 6-12 weeks not after a couple and now it's backed by WHO.
With the French doing this it just goes to prove it's every man for themselves and two fingers up to being part of a union.
 
Nothing to do with boosting the figures to catch us up? 😮
To be fair, what's extending the 3 weeks between jabs to 12 if not boosting the figures?

I dont know the full details, but there probably is something in holding back the jab completely from those who already have a level of natural immunity until everyone else has has it?

As said above I’am sure the EU won’t approve, aren’t they supposed do things ‘as one’ 😮

No. That's the whole point. We made our decisions about vaccination without the need to have it approved by the EU while we were still in there. That's why Hungary and others have bought the Russian and Chinese vaccines. Because they can.

It's like we were a sovereign state in a wider community giving us a better bargaining position in world markets.

A jab for those with some natural immunity is effectively the booster (second dose).
 
Seems a fair argument, but about 5% of population have had covid, so they are still a long way behind. Also could be a bit of a logistical nightmare identifying the people who only require one dose, I thought there was a problem with false positives in testing??
 
Quite. I thought the strength of the EU was in its solidarity.
Of course it is. When you’re negotiating with the US, Russia, China or Saudi over various products or commodities that are net short in ‘Europe’ then the combined strength of the market is clearly a massive positive, rather than each country fighting against the others from an isolated position.

The other positive is having the flexibility within that set up to make your decisions when you can do or need to. Which- surprise surprise- the U.K. had as part of the EU....

You're making the false projection that the EU is a single state, as you did when you voted leave. Each country is free to do what they want within the overall broader economic benefit of acting as a bloc when negotiating for everyone.

That's why a few Eastern countries within the EU have gone their own way and bought in other vaccines over and above those bought in centrally, and why France have gone their own way with single jabs.

Because they can act as independent nations within an economic community with tariff free borders.

Conflation of political and economic control, if you like.

And if we were doing it, why do I expect your post would be nothing like it is. I daresay that it's pretty much a certainty that you would be pointing out the length of time between the first jab and the second one and that no doubt you were critical when the time gap was moved to twelve weeks.

I've neither criticised or praised. I've provided information. This is against the manufacturer's guidance so I have reservations, as I still have with our method.

They also said if you drive a Renault, a Peugeot or a Citroën car you are immune as well. 😂
