UK can't 'scamper down a rabbit hole' with every new variant, says Oxford vaccine chief
Sir John Bell, who is part of the Oxford/AstraZeneca team, wants the government to stick to the roadmap that would see all restrictions lifted on 21 June so that the country can "move on".
The professor of medicine at Oxford University told BBC Radio 4's Today: "If we scamper down a rabbit hole every time we see a new variant, we're going to spend a long time huddled away."
Sir John cautioned that COVID "is here to stay probably forever" and said the focus should now be on managing "hospitalisations, serious disease and deaths", not cases.
