Gradually easing lockdown and mass vaccination ‘could still lead to 130,000 deaths’


Easing lockdown slowly and ‘ramped up vaccinations’ would still lead to over 130,000 deaths between now and next June, scientists have warned. A report to the Government’s advisers claims vaccines are ‘insufficient’ to allow the UK to go back to normality ‘within the year’. Academics who authored the paper, including Professor Neil Ferguson whose modelling led to the original lockdown, said 3 million doses a week were considered ‘critical to avoid exceeding national hospital capacity after the current wave’. But even if this target was met and restrictions were lifted gradually, the dossier predicts 130,800 people could die between now and June 2022.
