    So you won't have a problem with how the government have handled this pandemic because they've followed the expert advice?

    The UK's chief medical officers have defended the Covid vaccination plan, after criticism from a doctors' union.

    The UK will give both parts of the Oxford and Pfizer vaccines 12 weeks apart, having initially planned to leave 21 days between the Pfizer jabs.

    The British Medical Association said cancelling patients booked in for their second doses was "grossly unfair".

    But the chief medical officers said getting more people vaccinated with the first jab "is much more preferable".

    No they haven't.. They have cherrypicked bits that suit their agenda. The vast majority of expert advice was telling the government that the slackening of rules over Christmas would be a disaster and that schools are the principle areas where the virus is being transmitted. The same goes for the way the vaccines are being administered. The viral experts from WHO are totally against delaying the second dozes.

    It’s not the government. It’s the Joint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Google it and it has the members listed. They are independent of the government, and the plan makes perfect sense.

    Ok so you’re an internet troll? Or a bairn. I won’t bother trying to interact either you again. On the outside chance you’re not just a troll. Google the JCVI and do a little research Before spouting your utter nonsense man.

    We'll be needing to vaccinate against this thing for years to come. The sooner we all accept we're going to need to live with it mid-long term, rather than rushing to make short-term fixes that fail, the better. The government are in a really difficult position, but a lot of problems are of their own making eg lack of NHS capacity/administration

    One thing I can see happening is a multi strain covid vaccine being developed, similar to the flu jab (and possibly a combi flu-covid vaccine).

    You would hope they're already working on it. I have no idea what the probability/effectiveness is of creating a vaccine that can cover almost all permeatations, but we're going to have to accept a higher death rate while we get the balance right and build better long-term coping capacity.

    What amazes & dissappoints me is how our experts did not think through the fact that vaccinating more people with a first jab would provide better coverage than the double-jab route against a virus that is bound to mutate.
