As I explained to Hugh above, what changed again later on to increase the infection rate was the Kent variant. That is why Boris’s promise not to cancel Christmas had to be undone.
Variants are indeed a problem, but worldwide vaccinations and boosters should prevent that. So what will your excuse be then for continuing to hide in the cupboard under the stairs?
Don’t get me wrong, I know you’ll find one.

Well, the plan is for giving everyone a booster which will deal with the Delta variant this autumn. Were you ignorant of that fact? |
No, but then I credited you with the intelligence to understand that we’re talking about future variants. I’m sorry I won’t make that mistake again.
Now, if you can, why don’t you answer the question I asked about how long it would take to develop and approve new vaccines.
