Let me put this case forwardThis is the point ..at what stage is a booster shot a new innoculation?. I am not sure that the gamble was a good or bad call, ..but it was certainly rash and imprudent. I don't think it is wise to have rash leadership. Again I remain worried about facilitating mutant variants. If I could be assured on that point, and if plenty of vaccine is coming on stream, then the gamble becomes worthwhile.
The number vaccinated so far have not yet really impacted the cases numbers
What has and indeed is only likely to is the Lockdown
It follows that they should have stuck to the lockdown as the main defence, and given the vaccines systematically at the correct interval for maximum success and reduction of new variants
