Many Happy Returns? No!

I refer to Virus vaccinations – when all those who attended the Bradbury Centre on January 9, should be meeting next weekend for our second promised Pfizer dose.

Now Joe Biden is US President, when he stated ‘national Health Policy’ will not be influenced by politicians, I thought he must have been watching the UK’s example of ignoring the medical profession.

Many of our doctors and the

BMA, believe we should adhere to the Pfizer treatment, and are ignoring the politicians where they are able to.

We have to keep reminding ourselves of the lack of any evidence or test results that support any change to the treatment pattern defined by Pfizer, plus the risks to our fight against the virus are unknown.

Do a risk assessment to pass the time!

One difficulty we the public cannot understand, is the policy of ensuring everyone gets a first jab.

This is an appealing idea until you do the risk assessment.

There is no prediction of the effect of not having the second Pfizer jab in terms of the possible rapidly declining first jab protection.

That could lead to the farcical scenario whereby there could be an increase in cases involving first jabonly patients, and a decline for those being given a first jab! Until they also then become less protected!

While having a good whinge, I am appalled at our MPs who apart from costing us I believe a quarter of £1m per annum each, seem to sit back and do little. I wonder why?

They can so easily get their heads together and influence where we are going – well outside the Hancock and now Tony Blair’s clique?

By the way, does anyone know if we tax payers are rewarding Tony Blair for his ‘so-valuable’ input?

In closing, there are still far too many people in our area ignoring the spacing and protection rules – especially important in local streets with narrow sidewalks – although the town centre is the best place to spread the virus if that’s what you like doing!

Perhaps one day we may get enough policing of public behaviour – but that’s a dream I feel.

Lastly, runners should get nowhere near pedestrians – and in my view should be made to keep at least three metres away from us.

Reg Cliﬞ on, Wokingham

Have focus on lockdown

I would like to bring to the public’s attention the flagrant flouting of the law in the Wokingham area (and the whole country) by the Liberal Democrats.

Government guidelines state the single most important action is to stay at home to protect the NHS and by definition, every one of us.

You must not leave or be outside of your home except where you have a reasonable excuse. This is the law.

There are various sections and under ‘Volunteering’ it states: You can leave home to provide Voluntary or Charitable Services.

Any idiot knows that Voluntary Services means working for Link Visiting Scheme, Homeless Charities, Mental Health Organisations, Church Groups.

Not delivering political newspapers.

The Liberal Democrats’ website advises its activists: “The WHO has concluded there is ‘very little risk’ of spreading the virus on paper, especially where the leaflets signpost ocal residents to Covid support.

The Liberal Democrats decided to ‘bend’ the rules by intimating delivering newspapers was ‘exempt’ (can’t find that anywhere on any Government website) and that delivering these newspapers was a ‘service’.

In the latest Focus there is no mention of Covid support and ‘what to do’. Litter Pickers were thanked for delivering.

So with all these Lib Dems traipsing the streets it is very clear they are prepared to ‘risk’ spreading a ‘little risk’ rather than ensuring no risk.
