PM on @theprojecttv strongly downplaying the role of vaccines in ending this lockdown.
This is a false dichotomy that many commentators make - lockdown vs vaccines. The additive effect of blitz vaccinating the high risk LGAs could alter transmission dynamics significantly.

I disagree. A vaccine blitz where we vaccinate an extra 20-30% of the affected LGAs would take at least a few weeks, with another few weeks of lag to have a substantial impact. Would've had a big effect if we'd done it months ago tho

But restrictions are going to be needed for several weeks anyway, the outbreak could last for months. That’s enough time for vaccines to kick in surely.

Gotta factor in the time taken to vaccinate. Affected LGAs house ~1mil people, so vaccinating an extra ~2-300k with 2 doses over two months (say) by diverting doses from elsewhere would then start seeing large impacts in more like 10 weeks time

Yes. This isn’t the solution to the current problem

Definitely a solution to future problems, like reopening both quickly and safely
