Looks like countries that primarily used Pfizer will have the best outcomes . Clearly it’s a superior vaccine to AZ especially against the Delta variant.
I said wayback when Astra Zeneca partnered up with that third rate university that Pfizer would be better.
AZ didn't partner with Cambridge. Oh wait, you said third-rate, not complete waste of space.
Number of Nobel laureates.
University of Cambridge: 110
University of Oxford: 54
The University of Oxford even gets beaten by France.
Jeffrey Donaldson likely to be elected in his place. More moderate on social issues, in Arlene Foster camp, but won’t make much difference to NI Protocol row as DUP will still oppose it

Hmm, depends. Some fields of science and other learning don't get Nobel prizes. Evolutionary biology for instance.
Look at Cornwall. Impact of the G7 summit or is that too soon?
Far too soon - unless it was the preparations (catering, security) that started things off.
Yeah, the security teams are there well in advance.
The Secret Service are something else.
Chock full of covid by the looks of the case data.
My friend's father worked at a very nice hotel which has hosted The Royals, politicians from round the world, rock star, pop stars, and films stars, he said the biggest pains in the arse were the US Secret Service and Prince Charles.
The former were relentless and humourless whilst Prince Charles had so many requirements it was unbelievable, such as a certain type of toilet roll, set in such a way, sandwiches cut diagonally, not horizontally, whereas his parents were a blast, especially the Duke of Edinburgh.
The main hotspots are Falmouth (120 cases across 4 MSOAs, 342 per 100k), St. Ives (63 cases, 482 per 100k) and Newquay (55 cases, 210 per 100k), with pretty low rates elsewhere. Proper hotspots those.

Indeed.
You can see why they let in Naomi Wolf.
Trinity College (Cambridge) has more Nobel Laureates than Oxf*rd, doesn't it?

Hasn't Alfred Nobel been cancelled by now?
That firework should have been cancelled decades ago! Imagine the inventor of dynamite sponsoring a peace prize.
Third night of my Dildo Knappers Gazette Tour of E Anglia. Again: consistently brilliant food.
Oysters, lobsters, pig cheek fritters with tarragon Mayo. Norfolk asparagus with confit egg, fantastic warm potted shrimp. Just sensational
I’ve not eaten better in the EU in several years. Theory: You generally eat better in the UK than you do on the continent. There is greater variety on the high street and more imagination in the restaurants. And the ethnic food is vastly better
At home Ocado are now stocking Norfolk Samphire. Superb fried off, then mixing in and frying / steam basting eggs in the juice. Set me nicely for lunch for the last few weekends.
One of the gastronomic highlights of my life was having samphire with sea bream in Kings Lynn many years ago.

It's hard for a layman to judge, but particularly given the cold storage issue has been dealt with the Pfizer vaccine really does seem to have been a mighty achievement, and it was first out of the gate to boot.
And it looks like a technology which is very easy to adapt to other problems, and produce in huge quantities using the network Europe has developed. Whereas the OAZ vaccine is the swansong of a more traditional approach. The last great steam engine, when someone else has developed an electric TGV.
And whilst the OAZ vaccine combined remarkable cleverness and humanity, that doesn't excuse the sales-production mismatch, or not doing trials in a way that ensured quick approval.
While that might be true to some degree mRNA doesn't look like an easy technology to work with. The CureVac vaccine has got just 47% efficacy which is pretty poor, even the single dose J&J vaccine gets about 67% on the same measure whole AZ is about 85% with two doses at an 8 week gap and both of those use Adenovirus vectors. Novavax with viral proteins+adjuvant gets to 97% efficacy after two doses.
To me it looks like Moderna and BioNTech/Pfizer are extremely good vaccines that have leveraged a novel technology. Novavax is second best in terms of antibody response and AZ is best in terms of its t-cell response. I think there is room in the market for all 5 of them (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, AZ and Novavax) each targeting a different part of the market. AZ for people aged 60+ looks like a slam dunk to me as it gets a good antibody response, doesn't have any side effects in the old and it seems to give very, very good long term immunity with t-cells. I think Moderna and Pfizer make sense in the young where you want a faster acting vaccine which will reduce spread and Novavax needs to be approved so we can see what real world efficacy is like rather than modelling it from trial data and antibody prevalence but in the early data it seems to do very well against variants.

I wouldn't press UEFA on this - they and FIFA love their beer sponsors.

There seems to be a significantly higher difference in the two doses in high BAME districts.
I remember when I got dragged to Vodka bars simply because the 99% proof stuff they only let people have one shot a night, and they stamped your hand.
I was taken so I could order one of them and a friend could have two.
Something similar happened with bars that served absinthe.

Polls have now closed throughout the Chesham and Amersham constituency and seven council seats across England and Scotland.
But what about an election night show?
