'Pointless' to give more vaccines to people who aren't going to be very ill, says expert
As we reported earlier, the former head of the UK's vaccines taskforce has called for mass vaccination to end after the booster campaign.
Speaking to Sky News just now, Dr Clive Dix said the original vaccines were designed to stop infection and transmission as well as serious disease.
But new, more transmissible variants mean they "do not stop infections any more", even though they are still very effective at preventing severe illness.
Dr Dix said we are dealing with a "much, much milder variant" now so it is "pointless giving more and more vaccine to people who are not going to get very ill".
Instead, we should take a "much more targeted approach" and give protection to the most vulnerable while allowing society to return to a "new normal".
"People should just go to work, go about their business, if they get ill go home and stay at home," he said.
"Stop measuring case numbers and getting fixated by stopping those numbers."
