The big push is to divert attention away from parties, we won’t get near a million a day and the rhetoric was ridiculous given the omicron version is a mild version of the disease. 

Utter bollocks mate.

Just read and follow the science.

Being selective and incomplete with it doesn't wash.

Don't have it then. If folk are so stupid to be put of having a jab becasue they don't like the pm then perhaps they deserve all they get.

I've had it. A month back. I don't need that prick to tell me to have it.

Doing the right thing, is fucking the fuck off.

He's in no position to tell anybody to do anything ever again.

You've had yours haven't you?

Part of the booster programme already initiated. Did you need him to tell you or just do it because its the right thing to do.

Frankly, anyone not having a jab because "he" said we should deserves what they get.

So it’s not the GPs doing the vaccinations in the main. 

It's the GP practices - its just not the actual GP's as that wouldn't make sense. 

It sounded like you were saying that the GP practices weren't involved in vaccination?

Thank you.

How does it work with chemists that are doing it?

Are they under control of the PCNs or do they "go it alone" whilst following guidance?

My mum was done at Breightmet by the chemists and it was a bit of a shambles in terms of organisation. 

They've opened it up so that lots of different types of organisations can do it. I'm not sure if that site comes under a PCN or through someone else?

Physically giving a vaccine is actually a really easy process. It's what to do if someone has anaphylaxis that's the difficult part. So they must have someone there who's trained to deal with it up there.

Vast majority are jabbed at Covid vaccination sites, pretty sure it’s not compulsory for GPs and if they do decide to offer to vaccinate then they get a lovely payment for each jab on top of their wage. What’s not to like.

One of my mates - funnily enough a GP - has been working at his practice doing jabs and also going round nursing and care homes giving jabs and boosters. 

Along with some of his other GP mates on a big old jabbing jolly.

Give him a bell, see what he's got to say to. I'd love to earwig that conversation.

But you're entirely missing mine.

His authority is busted. Someone else should be pushing this.

I really don’t buy the exponential figures being bandied about 1 million by end of December,  in SA they are on 20 deaths for 20k infections, that’s with a vaccination rate of 38% most of the deaths are unvaccinated folk, it’s all very convenient smoke screen/diversion. Let’s see where these figures are by the end of December.

Literally every GP I know (and I know a lot) is working their arses off, doing really long weeks and cancelling leave.... Spoke to a few last week that have booked themselves back in on NYE and NYD.

The fact remains that the vast majority of jabs aren’t administered by GPs in surgery it’s not compulsory and they are paid twice for doing their job.

Indeed, what he's saying is sensible, but people are turned off to what he's saying because he doesn't have the moral authority to tell anyone to do anything.

I don't think its a bad idea to get a few people who appeal to different part of the population on a campaign to get people jabbed - what might work for someone else, say a Farage, might not work for me but if it means another few million get jabbed. Get him down from Dover and up on a poster asap.

I’d be working as well at £15 a jab.

I can imagine, and mounts idea that people GPs aren't actually administering the jab that it's not an effect on running a practice, or the time taken out to do increased rounds - or as I say, going out and helping onthe frontline doing jabs in care homes.

On most subjects, I generally think its a bit of fun and games and you have some very stong, ill-informed views on things but hey ho, different strokes for different folks.

The undermining of GPs in a health crisis with no understanding of what their job entails is a bit of much though, consdering the last 2 years and that GPPs and nurses have gone through.

Plus, there's no fucking way I'd let a rug salesman anywhere near my arm with any sort of medicine

[Escobarp]

Lateral flow every time I’ve been out from now for me. Just done one after the weekend and negative. Dropping like flies at work. More who hasn’t got it now than who has.

It's the practice that get paid £15 a jab. Not the person administering it.

And they're not working on NYE and NYD jabbing folk. They're doing standard GP work.

Purely anecdotal evidence from me here - but I've never known it this rife. The fact the hospitals aren't backed up is testament to the the efficacy of the vaccine.....

I’m not having a go at GPs I am just pointing out most jabs are not done by GPs at surgery and any jabs they give they are well paid for it. Im good at injections had to do 4 weeks course for blood thinning after operation last year and it’s towels not rugs. 🤣

I would agree wholeheartedly with you. I think we all accept that over the next few weeks it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Without the vaccines we would be in seriiis trouble. Booster for me on Sunday

We’ve moved on knob head, the question mark is the clue. I still stand by my later comment that it’s not compulsory for GPs to vaccinate, they are well paid for it and that most vaccinations are at the big walk in sites rather than GPs surgeries. 

[Not in Crawley]

Arrrggggghhhh Man Down!!

Done tests all weekend, all negative but I thought the booster was making me feel worse than it should. Turns out I've actually got Covid. Falling asleep at the drop of a hat, chesty cough and temp. Bit annoying that the only place I've been is to get my booster in the last week. 

On the plus side, 10 days takes me until the 22nd......still time to get the other half's xmas gifts!

I've seen the effect this workload has on surgery folk and its been horrendous

Make your mind up, an hour ago you said no GP’s do the jabs.

Ill let you you off because you’re never wrong.
