Fact to Fiction - topical new drama from Mark Lawson. It's a useful tool, but is endless jabbing the only way to save the NHS? Mark Lawson says: Full disclosure - the writer has had two jabs, a booster, and Covid-19 (of a thankfully mild kind). But seeing news reports that an impressive 90% of British adult population had received a first vaccination, I was fascinated by the 10% or[around five million who had refused or failed to respond to the offer. And even more so that around a tenth of the NHS workforce - that’s over 100,000 - had also declined to put their arm out for the roll-out, even under the threat of not being able to work with patients from 1 April. Why would people be prepared to lose their jobs or their lives over what is literally a pin prick? Being the audience for a play is like taking a lateral flow test. At the end, you’ll have a positive or negative response. But, in this case, please try to withhold your verdict until - to extend the metaphor - the final line appears.
