Another puff piece from the state broadcaster. I am stunned.

I'm not sure it's correct to categorise it as "right vs wrong" - in the absence of data it becomes a risk based approach which as I'd said previously varies from country to country depending on what is (or isn't) available.

The United States similarly haven't approved the vaccine at all until ongoing trials are complete. Is it really a conspiracy against Great Britain? I suspect not. However it keeps people talking about something other than the death toll I suppose.

Interestingly there are no signs (yet) of a difference in case reduction in the over 80s vs the population at large and the ONS survey has the over 70s flatlining at prevalence around 1% for weeks now.

It's certainly going to be a big couple of weeks coming up for the UK experiment.
