.. not to be taking any further action to reduce the spread of infection, such as mandatory mask wearing, physical distancing and ventilation requirements in high-risk settings, particularly indoor crowded spaces. These are measures that are the norm in many other nations....

"...However, relying on the vaccination programme alone without other measures will not be sufficient to prevent rising infection rates, illness and deaths, given that no vaccine is 100% effective.

“Only last week two select committees found the UK was an international outlier when it came to public health policy during this crisis. We are rapidly approaching a position where, yet again, the Government is delaying for too long, and equivocating over taking action. This is the time to learn the lessons of the past and act fast, or else we will face far more extreme measures later.”

I know the govt. has ignored similar warnings previously, but can't help hoping it might at some future point be used in evidence against Johnson/members of his cabinets, in a court setting.

At least the government can no longer claim, with any justification, to be "following the science".

Basic maths. You can't achieve the levels of herd immunity required without including younger people in the vaccination programme. Except by willfully infecting them and facing all the problems that can lead to (which are far greater than the very low risk of adverse side effects, before you start).

When did you become a contrarian anti-public health measures type anyway?

It feels deflating - goodness knows what it’s like those actually working in health. I think the issue is, somewhat unsurprisingly, the government sold the vaccination programme as a panacea which would get us out of this. Now the BMA is calling for greater restrictions, even some members of the public who back it are wondering what it was for and the concern from that is they’ll just not listen to any very belated guidance given.
