So are you ment to grow a third testicle after getting the jab?

I got my vaccination appointment today. Next week on Wednesday. BioNTech.
It is slowly picking up speed here.
In France they got up to speed but seem to be falling behind the gouvernments previsons. I think it’s because there’s just not enough vaccination centers outside the major towns. For example in My town there’s no open dates till June (over 4 weeks) yet in Departements ‘capital’ it’s around 2 weeks.
There could also be problems of supply in that the stocks probably go through the main centres.
Anyway it’s not my problem and as long as it gets done for me the time it takes isn’t that important.
Since our general practitioners have been able to vaccinate for a few weeks now, things have gone much faster. I also had my doctor put me on the waiting list and it worked.
And 120.595 today.
An example of how slow Europe has been with their vaccination programme. I know someone who lives in Sicily and up to last week, in the town where she lives, the local vaccination centre has not yet opened. The vast majority of people are still waiting for their first jabs.
I can report that the day after Moderna I have a sore arm. No other side effects.
Not a problem here at all after AZ. Rest of the family had time off, ill, sore arms etc. Pussies…
Nurse told me that AZ doesn’t really affect cunts.
123.502 vaccinations in the Netherlands yesterday, a new record for us. 
I agree with all of your points except 2 and 3 as it is too challenging to implement. I understand that the rationale behind your idea is to minimise the risk of importing new variants of the virus which may be resistant to the vaccines. However, point 3 assumes that the green and amber-listed countries reciprocate the same or more stringent travel restrictions than GB. For example, if GB removes Country X from the green/amber list, other countries should do likewise. This is hard to coordinate in real life.
Furthermore, it also assumes that people from the red-listed countries cannot travel to GB via the countries in the green/amber list. In actual fact, the more well-to-do people from these countries can afford to circumvent the restrictions, by travelling to a non red-listed country and stay there for a short period (typically 14 days), before entering a green/amber-listed country or GB. This is an ongoing issue which many countries had tried but failed to resolve, including Australia, which received much backlash for their controversial law on banning their residents to travel back from India.
Unfortunately, due to the interconnectivity of the world, I do not have a solution on how to minimise imported cases and variants, without completely banning travel. We have to rely on individual social responsibility to minimise the spread. But this would not be feasible as long as there as selfish people in the world.
That’s why we need to have only countries as cautious as us though. There is no back doors through Singapore. Flights are open to only about 5-6 countries and UK is not one of them. Any passengers from permitted countries move through the airport in travel lanes. There are no flights from India into Singapore from what I can see.
I agree with you on the back door issue with Portugal though. Portugal has a high level of genomic sequencing which I think is essential, so I think they got most of the targets I set but with Portugal’s reliance on tourism, I think they will be less cautious to the countries they open to which is a problem for us in the UK as we have them on our green list. I don’t think Portugal should be on the green list.
In terms of difficulties to sync policy across multiple nations, I’m sure it’s difficult. But probably less difficult than managing 60,000 COVID cases a day.
So the green list contains 5 countries out of 9 that don’t accept UK travelers. That should tell us all that its really not the best time to holiday in another country.
Australia is not open to anybody but NZ at the moment though. They are doing repatriation flights and only in small quantities - 10k per week for all Aus airports from all destinations. They also did repatriation flights out of Wuhan early in the pandemic and they were quarantined in a quarantine camp in an abandoned village in NT. Not sure if they will do similar for returning Australians from India.
As far as I know none of the 12 countries on the UK amber list are currently allowing visitors from the UK anyway.
Singapore is not being used as a “back door” because 1) the situation here is fairly stable, so it is one of the ideal destinations for those wishing to go about their normal lives; 2) we already have in place strict laws on travelling.
There are still flights coming in from India, but only for returning residents or workers in “essential” sectors, e.g. construction. For the latter, Singapore would be reducing the quota for such workers for the time being due to the worsening situation. Prior to Singapore tightening our measures, there was anecdotal accounts of ppl from India using neighbouring countries such as Sri Lanka or Bangladesh as a “backdoor” to circumvent the rules. But we have now tightened travelling on this front.
121.926 jabs yesterday
