Ahh that brings me back. Not least of all to my dancing triumph.

One of the few ailments I donāt have Peter (yet). BTW, howās your Macron thread going? Iām afraid to look 
Looks like there is similar scepticism in Germany but you (and Ron) only have a go at Manu. Come on 
This is a Bojo thread and weāre havewhataboutery to defend him

Iām really puzzled by all the nay saying on the AZ. https://youtu.be/U3otWaBrvEc
Dr Campbell talks about the latest findings and itās all good unless I missed something. Meanwhile there are a lot of people in Europe unprotected who could be protected.

Fizzled out Iām afraid, unfortunately the happenings in the UK are obviously more importantā¦
I think the whole thing started Michael when the AZ was rushed through approval with the minimum of supporting data. IMO as a result of poor management by AZ and jingoistic comments by Johnson et al. One doesnāt hear the same concerns about Pfizer or Modena. I think subsequently AZ has proved to be a robust vaccine, maybe even better than the mRNA ones but the initial dodgy launch followed by the dubious allocation priorities have damaged the ābrandā, so to speak. People, in Germany in particular, just donāt want it. Mind you, due to their ālowā death rate people there donāt feel as much at risk or in need of vaccination as people, IMO wisely, do in the UK.
Well hopefully it will comeback because really trying to justify Johnsonās multitudinous sins by doing a whataboutery on Macron is bad form.

Last time I looked this was a site about France!
And you can deflect all you want but Macron has done poorly when it comes to vaccines. Even when looking through those rose-tinted specs youāre obviously wearing.
On the other hand, BJ has done a shit job on just about everything. Show me where I have defended him!

Fair enough Izzy, why not post that on Peterās Macron thread. It has nothing to do with how good a job Bojo has bone (edit: done 
), has it?
Just following the discussion. Lots of people posted about Macron before I did. I think you call it thread drift.
Night night!
And this is relevant to how well Johnson has done ? For a French forum it is awfully fixated on the UK

If contributors were predominately from Greenland I would expect to see that countryās affairs covered in the same way. So much hangs on agreements between, in this case, the EU or France and the UK for many on here, not to mention concerns for friends and relatives back in the old country. As someone who is carefully considering a move to France Iām very worried about Johnson ruining things re- WA / trade deal.

There are curesā¦try Leipicol
thought you had one looking at the tiny thumbnail picā
It is and I find it so frustrating as what the French government does has far more relevance to my day to day life than Johnson and coās latest cock-up. People justify their constant anti UK rants with the āIāve got a UK pension, family and friendsā line which is laughable because we all have.
IMO it would be useful if there was a separate section for UK discussions where people could rant away to their hearts content.

Freedom of movement? We only have the choice of France or the UK now unless we want to go through all the red tape elsewhere.
Having spent most of my life working in other countries I was proud to consider myself part of the European community but now Iāve regressed to being lumped in with a bunch of Brexiteer fā¦wits.

Note that the AZ vaccine is an mRNA vaccine - the difference between it and the Pfizer/Moderna vaccines is that it uses an adenovirus vector to get the Covid mRNA into your cells.
Fair enough,but it does sometimes seem that people just jump on any chance to bash the UK ,see this thread and itās length,and yet ignore stuff far more relevant to day to day life in France
