This latest development with the AZ vaccine surely puts us at risk of failing one of the four roadmap “tests”. How convenient....
Assuming the efficacy of the vaccines in the over 50s (or even over 60s) is indeed as high as thought, I see no reason why it needs to be forced onto younger people who will acquire natural herd immunity in due course. With the progress made to date there’s no reason to delay any stage of the roadmap. Sorry to sound so pessimistic but I don’t like where this appears to be heading.
I can also see another ready made excuse to avoid reopening.
