OK, I've lost the will to live so this will probably be my last comment.
In the Doctors' Association 3-page letter they devote one paragraph to worrying about how effective the new dosage interval will be and use the 52% efficacy number, which scientists (i.e. not doctors) have shown to be the wrong metric to use. The rest of the letter is about things like how difficult it will be to rebook patients and how they will have to deal with questions of consent. They think a better option would be prolonged lockdown and continued closure of the schools.
The BMJ Opinion piece cites the Israeli 33% number as one of the reasons for not relying on one dose for a longer period; the reasons that this is not valid have come to light today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55734257
As for people who understand the science - well people who understand science aren't only publishing in medical journals. Some of them write on forums for Grans. You know, maybe this is the wrong decision. Maybe in a year's time we'll all look back and say, yes, in hindsight, we shouldn't have done that. Or maybe we'll go, thank goodness we did that, look at all the lives we've saved.
If you don't like the idea of delayed second doses, tell your doctor you don't want the jab and leave it for someone who does. Support Dame Joan and her crowdfunding. But mainly, stop undermining a decision taken by medical professionals faced with the worst health crisis in their history.
