So, what happens now?

Research published by the House of Lords earlier this year pointed out that study after study showed poorer outcomes for women.

All of our ICU covid patients are young.

None of them have any significant comorbidities. If you look at the data then there’s a high probability if they’d had the vaccine then none of them would be there, and we’d still be able to operate
