Coronavirus (Non-Politics)

Anyone that has shares in any of the companies that are involved in supplying a vaccine

Watching the panorama thing on the development of thd oxford vaccine there was certain restrictions on the costing of the vaccine that astra zennecca could charge. They will make money on it, but I think they were doing ok in the first place. Amazon and thd supermarkets have done well out of this as well are they part of the hoax as well?

That theory - like every other one - doesn’t hold much water, because again, it would mean that pretty much every medical health professional across the globe would have to be in on it... and of course the millions of people that have been affected by it, or actually died.

That’s before we even get on to the notion that these shadowy, faceless shareholders are capable of controlling World Governments.

The Army are at Southend Hospital today, which I can only assume is to help with the vaccine roll out (unless anyone is planning an insurrection in Southend General today).

So in summary deaths are higher than usual for this time of the year but some bloke, with no justification whatsoever, has decided that because the last bar in the graph is slightly lower than the penultimate bar we must have already hit the peak so he's drawn a dotted line going downwards to illustrate his unsupported belief.

This final bar in that chart corresponds to the week ending 25th December, so deaths were likely low because of Christmas underreporting, not because of a Christmas miracle meaning we've hit the peak. (This happened last year as well, the deaths recorded week ending 20/12/19 were 11,926, the deaths recorded w.e. 27/12/19 was a sharp drop to 7,533 but then it went up again next week in w.e. 3/1/20 to 12,253).

Over 1000 people died yesterday, that's on par with the peek of the first wave.Bearing in mind the NHS has a better understanding of the virus therefore treatment is better. That's a terrible figure.

It was only actually about 600, the other 400 were over various days going back to before Xmas.

Great news, they would be crazy to not use their skills.

They didn't die yesterday - their deaths were recorded yesterday. They could've died days ago, even weeks ago. That's an important distinction to make.

Including Patrick Vallance, who has 600k of shares in GlaxoSmithKline.

I imagine Anthony Fauci is making a fair few quid from vaccines as well

Heard nothing around here near Thames Drive.

Why? There's nothing to suggest he has a conflict of interest with any vaccine developer(s) and he doesn't own shares in any pharma companies, from what I can see. He doesn't seem to have done much in the way of private consultancy for big pharma. He may have developmental royalties but the NIH haven't been particularly involved in the COVID vaccination programme. So not sure what you're basing this on.

Vallance has shares in GSK that are valued today at £600k. Given he was at GSK for over 10 years at a very senior level, it's not a surprise that he was compensated significantly with GSK shares that are now worth a huge amount. I'm not a Vallance fan but I struggle to see exactly how his advisory role and GSK shareholding could represent a conflict at this moment in time, if GSK become a factor in vaccines and/or therapeutics then I expect he might step away, but we'll see.
