The Guardian posting the same story in a slightly different way.
I wonder if this could provoke a rethink of the policy to rush out single vaccines for those countries who have and what (if any) consequence this could have for a vaccine resistant mutation emerging given what we think about the existing “new” variants.

OB as ever can’t make up his mind. Our death rate isn’t that bad because other countries with slower vaccine rollouts will catch up,
That prompted me to ask the following, which he ignored.

It also ignores their potential to do what you've claimed we should do all along which is just shield those at risk.
If it's that easy - and I'm offering you some latitude here - surely other countries could do it while rolling out their shiny 95% effective vaccines?
Or do you finally concede that 'just shield those at risk' never has been, and never will be, a credible Covid-19 response for anyone, anywhere in the world?

Now I appreciate that was in the Starmer thread, but I thought I’d ask in the rightful place that is the Coronavirus thread.
I guess I’m also curious as to what OB’s motives are in spreading contradictory misinformation throughout the pandemic. We know he can’t possibly believe it to be true given the contortions it would require.
