We aren’t going to have the entire adult population vaccinated twice until the autumn. Until we get there, there will be unvaccinated people capable of transmitting the virus. Even once we are vaccinated there will be some vaccinated people who can still carry it and some people who can still get sick. Also every person who carries the virus is an environment where it can multiply and mutate. Mutations have the potential to escape the vaccine and put us back at square one. So scientifically the ideal solution is to minimise opportunities for transmission for as long as possible. But the present plans allow a large number of unvaccinated people to start mixing. That’s the risk.
