The government’s chief scientific adviser has said that it isn’t credible to offer the population Covid booster jabs every four months and that the UK must move to a more credible annual Covid immunisation drive.
Patrick Vallance was speaking at the Science and Technology Select Committee.
According to The Telegraph:
Speaking at the Science and Technology Select Committee, Sir Patrick said: “What isn’t credible is to start having vaccines every four months for everybody. That’s just not the way this works.
“What I think it will probably look like will be annual vaccines for a certain part of the population, as we have for flu.
“What we need to move to though is a better understanding of how to predict which vaccine is required each year. There are lots of possibilities. You could choose to go after the latest variant, you could choose to try and design a vaccine that fits somewhere in the middle and covers everybody.
“We have to move to a sensible annual cycle.”
In case you were wondering, no, none of the MP’s present asked Vallance if he had any comment on the recent Oxford University study which suggests that the Covid-19 death figure may in fact be grossly over-exaggerated.
In fact, none of the committee members blinked when Vallance suggested that restrictions may continue to play a part in fighting future pandemics. He told MP’s:
“I do think it is now going to be incredibly important to look internationally and nationally to try to dissect which components of restrictions are the ones that were the most important.
The world should learn from this so there is an advice handbook for the future and also to take into account the different characteristics of viruses.”
Not a peep from the assembled MP’s.
Heaven forbid that these witchdoctors are asked any real questions eh?
