‘Freedom Day’ ahead, but scientists condemn UK Covid policy

In a letter to The Lancet published late on Wednesday, 122 scientists and doctors condemned the UK Government’s strategy as a “dangerous and unethical experiment” and urged Ministers to pause plans to abandon all restrictions in a couple of weeks. The withering comments come amid a mounting backlash against plans to ease nearly all coronavirus restrictions in Britain on July 19 – dubbed “Freedom day”.
In the Lancet ‘memorandum’, scientists outline five key concerns about plans to lift nearly all restrictions, which it describes as “dangerous and premature”.
Chief among them are fears that vaccination rates are not high enough to confer population immunity. Currently, just over half of the UK population has two doses of a coronavirus jab, while almost 70 per cent have had one.
“Even assuming that approximately 20 per cent of unvaccinated people are protected by previous Sars-CoV-2 infection, this still leaves more than 17 million people with no protection against Covid-19,” the letter says.
