I get the feeling a lot of people I normally agree with are really against opening things up in the UK. Surely the point of the vaccine rollout was that we can go to restaurants and bars again, go clubbing, stop wearing masks everywhere? If not now, when?
Source for this? Reports I’ve seen show it to be a bit less effective in preventing transmission of new variants, but equally effective (90%+) jn preventing serious illness and death, which is what counts.

That’s from the recent report out of Israel which is the newest study I could find on it. But sample size is small and it contradicts other findings so unless there’s something more compelling I’m not worried.
