Meanwhile, see nffc’s excellent post for a description of pragmatism and co-operation between the agencies charting a path through this novel infection for us. I would only add to it the steadily increasing body of scientific research which is always likely to result in changes in advice as time goes by. In particular, today’s recommendation of a second dose for teenagers seems to be grounded in a population wide study that provides reassurance that heart muscle swelling as a side effect in that age group is exceptionally rare.
The irony that a population wide study done here (as opposed to the evidence used in the USA, EU and elsewhere) justifying their decision - and indeed providing reassurance - is being held up as good science in a post denying British Exceptionalism.

Worthy of a comedy sketch.
