UK Covid death toll

[Tom Joad]

So what would you have you're mom and dad vaccinated or one fully and the other one not..... Its not a bad strategy... I think your picking holes in it when they will be vaccinated and be perfectly safe as there is lockdown still in place

I understand the point about some protection v no protection but I guess that depends when you think lockdown may be eased. For those in the top 4 vulnerable groups they won't all have had two jabs until mid May. Considering that Hancock stated 88% of deaths will be from the top 4 vulnerable groups then getting those people fully protected asap would seem a wise move. Could we have achieved that quicker if we went with the 3 week strategy instead of rolling it out to groups lower down the scale? 

I am not an expert so the policy may be a masterstroke but it is interesting that we seem to be going our own way with this policy as yet. They have consistently said they are following the science - well that is not the case with this plan is it? Unless I am mistaken there is no data to support a 12 week spacing policy so there surely is some element of risk in taking this approach.

It does seem to be stretching it. Maybe if the 2nd jab was put back to 6 or even 8 weeks after the first?   I remember seeing someone say even Boris can't fuck up the roll out of the vaccination......Twelve weeks, Hmmm?
