The public will not accept having to comply with draconian coronavirus restrictions once they have been vaccinated, a Government adviser warned today. Sir John warned that further mutations in the virus are likely in response to the rollout of the vaccination programme. He added that, while some variants have 'quite profound resistance' to existing immunity, it does appear that the existing vaccines are able to prevent severe disease. Despite the imposition of tougher border measures, including hotel quarantine, Sir John said it 'will be impossible to completely prevent' the importation of new variants. But Tory MPs are adamant venues should be able to immediately resume trading on Covid-secure terms at Easter.
