The ones I criticise are the ones who are not following the rules about social distancing and wearing a mask.

Piers Corbyn is one such.

Ah, but he's got an excuse:
he's a nutter, a bit like his brother.

Ah! so it is just media hype.

Actually I did read your post properly and quoted it in full, there was no reference quoted as you claim.

This is your post in full:

5. DID YOU KNOW 99.8% OF PEOPLE SURVIVE COVID19?
The case-fatality ratio of Sars-Cov-2 infection has been a bone of contention for months, but it is certainly much lower than all the initial models predicted.

It was originally massively inflated, with the WHO using a figure of 3.4%.

No reference quoted there, You will have to squirm a bit more.

Matt Hancock takes over as head of government's vaccine taskforce

https://www.cityam.com/matt-hancock-...ine-taskforce/

Matt Hancock will take over top-level responsibility of the government’s vaccine taskforce, the health department has announced, as ministers prepare to ramp up the nation’s largest ever immunisation programme.

The health secretary will take charge of cabinet-level ministerial responsibility for the taskforce from business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.

The move is to allow “for end-to-end oversight of the programme to sit with a single minister”, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said in a statement.
A good idea .....

Let's hope he'll allow greater leeway for vaccination centres which have spare capacity to call in younger age groups.
Far better to get as many as possible vaccinated than sticking to rigid rules!

It's government guidance that says they have to stick to cohorts in a certain order. So I can't see that happening.

Vaccination hubs, fully staffed lying idle is a waste of resources - surely even Matt Hancock will realise that!

That's not the case.

When it was first suggest that doctors surgeries provide all the vaccinations, the doctors were claiming they couldn't possibly cope; they hadn't got the facilities/staff etc etc. SO the government arranged vaccination hubs to take the pressure off the doctors surgeries. However - when the doctors realised they'd be paid £18 per patient - they suddenly stepped up and called in as many patients - and more - for vaccinations................leaving the hubs with less demand than previously forecast! Soooooo there is scope to increase the numbers being vaccinated!

There were reports of a dip in the vaccine supply so vaccinating the younger groups would lead to a shortage
