There is Science and there is Spin. There is engineering and marketing. There is fact and there is folly. Regrettably you are on one side of this argument, the rest of Scientific community on the other. For my part, I am happier to remained in the cocooned semilife for a bit longer, knowing that those who need it the most are getting the right treatment,rather than everyone getting something half assed .
Like you, I’m not a medical professional. Like you, I’m not qualified to say who is right and who is wrong.
England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer (and the Chief Medical Officer) have said delaying the second dose in order to maximise the number of people who can be protected from hospitalisation and death is the best course of action at this time. Both have said that after one dose, no one was admitted to hospital or died. Both Chiefs have been red-carded by the government for not towing the political line in the past. I believe they tend to speak their minds and resist governmental pressure
I choose to believe JVT and Whitty. If you choose not to, then that’s your right, but it doesn’t make you right.
Like you, I’m in no rush to be vaccinated, but I would like to see as many people as possible vaccinated against death and hospitalisation ASAP. ie one dose.
I’m happy for my second vaccination dose to be used to help someone else.
