This new drug Evusheld, has been developed by AstraZeneca and is already widely used in the USA and other countries - but not here. The DOH has shown little interest so the NHS can’t buy it. It supplements vaccination for those who are immune-suppressed and, on average, increases resistance to covid by 77%. It’s a no-brainer but not really surprising.
I’m sure the DOH (or DHSC) has its reasons - chiefly that they threw away a lot of money on grants to their cronies to provide substandard PPE and daren’t ask for their money back, like any sane consumer/purchaser of defective goods would - but there are more than 300,000 people still unable to “learn to live with Covid” and still either holed up at home, frightened to go out or, like me, trying their best to live as normal a life as possible, masked when no one else is (yes, I feel a prat) and always conscious there’s a risk in the air.
Surely these two doses would be cheaper than keeping vulnerable patients alive in Intensive Care. This is the current risk in Leeds, according to the ZOE research app:
