Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

But the other issue is that this has got to be a global effort.

I agree we don't know but if we drive the emergence of escapes then all of the people we have vaccinated will thenbe vulnerable gain whether they have the 2nd dose or not

I guess the point is we don't know much and I wouldn't want to have to make the call on this.

If I had to chose between delaying doses and splitting doses I'd pick splitting doses and keeping to the 2 dose regiment.

Exactly! It's not just about the UK. Personally, I don't think what the UK does is going to have a huge impact on topof the global evolutionary soup. So, while I don't like the delayed 2nd dose, I'm ok with it because I think their hands are tied.

It is a gamble. But may save lives in the short term. Or may be a disaster.
