And we can see the game-changing impact of vaccinations clearly in the English hospitalisation data.
If it weren't for vaccines, more Covid patients would have been admitted to hospital yesterday than at the height of the winter peak. Instead we're 75% below it.

If you’ve found your way to this account (I now tweet from @DrLindaDykes) wondering why the Down’s Syndrome infographic link doesn’t work ⬇️ that’s because it now lives at lindadykes.org/downloads in the #FOAMed Infographic section! 👍
