1. Don't expect the government to get any credit whatsoever, there's already been faux outrage because of bureaucracy that wasn't correctly followed whilst we're up to our necks in trying to obtain PPE in competition with the rest of the world.
No credit for Hancock backing the Oxford vaccine and tying them up with AZ and bank rolling it. No credit for the vaccine rollout (the NHS have done all themselves), no credit for the single jab method.
Mistakes have been made in the past year, of course they have, but HMG have been focused on the pathway out of this and on that item, they have delivered.
2. Unfortunately for the EU and their attempts to discredit the AZ vaccine we have real world data that trumps political games.

No more bonkers than having them go back for 1 day.
Football and Golf return on March 29th. Brilliant!
Pubs open by May I should think, not that I'm an avid pub-goer, but I do enjoy a steak dinner on a Friday.
