This.
And another random thought: the UK is doing a relatively good job in vaccinating the population not due to Johnson or any of the Tories, but thanks to the efforts of the NHS, various scientific and academic specialists, and volunteers. I'm not one of those "don't talk down the UK!" people (although, fuck me, the Brexit thread is dripping with a weird self-schadenfreude-ish glee that I don't understand), but maybe reflecting on the good work a lot of people are doing would cheer some of you up. Especially as "lots of people getting the vax is good!" != "Johnson is saving the country!"
To be fair they vaccinated 220,000 people yesterday
To hit target they need to be vaccinating 355,000 people per day, that will increase as each day passes where they are below that but the vaccinations do seem to be going well.
the UK is undeniably way ahead of other countries in the EU
Without the vaccine we should have locked down much sooner which would have had a far greater impact than even the fastest vaccine rollout, in my opinion.
