It is a strange decision really, and hard to understand unless they think the quantities of the various vaccines they expect to receive mean they won’t end up leaving their most vulnerable citizens waiting longer, with the attendant risk, before they get any kind of vaccine at all.
I’m curious though, whether your scepticism is based on a deeper understanding of the science, or just general cynicism?

I wouldn’t describe it as a deeper understanding of the science, no. But I don’t see much science in the decision going against the advice of those who conducted the trials.
All other trials are finding that results against UK and SA variants are lower so unless we have a case of
British exceptionalism I’d expect 62% to drop on the basis of one dose and drop against new mutations. To what degree is unknown.
Watching the Government spring into action like I’ve never seen it before with door to door testing makes me naturally wonder
what do they know that I don’t?
