london breed: yeah. i definitely was saddened and disappointed and concerns when i heard about the johnson & johnson vaccine being removed, but unfortunately, we've had this challenge before. we know with a separate vaccine not related to covid, the pfizer vaccine, they talked about that, and my hope is that not a lot of people were impacted, and we're going to continue to do vaccines. we have other vaccines which have not been problematic. i have not had any symptoms or have experienced any clots related to the johnson & johnson vaccine. of course, i'm disappointed because it's a one-and-done vaccine that we all have encouraged other people to get. what we don't want people to do is to be discouraged from getting vaccines period. if i had to do it all over again, i'd still get the vaccine, and in light of the new information, probably would choose another option. those options have been in circulation and available to people even before the johnson & johnson was available. so i would say to those people

londoners who are currently furloughed. i'm determined to have a brighter future after the pandemic, with a city that's greener, safer and more equal. whoever is elected, restarting a shuttered capital won't be easy. will spaces that have sat empty refill with tourists? will the service economy find customers to serve? will new home workers now stay at home, or is there an opportunity for something different? a shift to homeworking is going to have a massive impact on our capital and i haven't heard anyone else talking about what we're going to do with all this empty space. we don't want to be looking back in a year's time and thinking we've left areas to languish when we had a real opportunity to think about that space creatively and to finally solve our housing crisis. others are hoping london's challenge means their message has found its moment. we've got to recover from the pandemic in a way that is truly green — that helps us to achieve our climate targets and creates a more fair and a more equal city, one that reall
