I've been to four different a&e departments in the last year and they're all completely differently organised. You'd have thought there'd be more agreement on the best way to do it.

Bit nerdy, but it's worth having a skim over the number needed to vaccinate figures here. E.g. to avoid one hospitalisation in otherwise healthy people JCVI estimated 60-100k would need to be vaccinated (based on Autumn 2024 data).

On what basis should it be lowered and by how much? It hasn’t been changed in cash terms since last century (implicitly halving (?) it in real terms already). Could reduce - ruling out more treatments - but what are the opp costs of doing so?

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.
