Boris is talking crap, I don't know anyone 50 and over who has taken the vaccine, every has said they don't want it.

Is this the vaccine that even after two doses you still need to wear a mask, social distance and can still catch covid? Oh and your need a booster jab till the end of time. All this for a virus with over a 99% survival rate 🤔

What's the recovery rate% as nobody seems to talk about that?

That's fantastic news. Roll on phase 2 and I literally can't wait for the day until I get mine done.

Rubbish I have not received my second jab yet and it is almost 12 weeks this week BorisJohnson
