the next point from christina pagel was the risk of new variants evolving.e no specific government response on this, but here's professor anthony hagen again. these vaccines are very, very effective, and it's likely that immunity will last for a long time. it's likely that even as new variants arise, there will be some degree of protection. the government calculation is that vaccines can cope with whatever comes. there is, though, a further, broader question — whether the government is risking people's health for the sake of the economy. the health secretary, sajid javid, answered that in the mail on sunday. the headline reads: now, that covid has disrupted other healthcare is accepted. whether the government's decision this week addresses that problem hinges on what happens to those hospitalisation rates. here's professor neil ferguson again. that indeed is the question, or at least one of them. because another we need to address is whether this is actually about politics as much as it's about science. certainly to some degree, this is about the conservativ
