Not really. There’s a fair chance that the result is like stopping a course of antibiotics early: you get infected, select for the vaccine-resistant strains, and pass them on.
COVAX principle operating at a regional level?I do see that it is galling, but one could argue it either way, I think.
I have been eloquent trying to convince the Ma of this, on the personal level. At population level, I have Severe Misgivings, along Sparrerly lines.

The trouble is, as That Bird said, that the second dose may be less effective as a result of being too damn’ late to do what it is meant to, while the virus, if I do get it with one dose on board, may then be more able to mutate and harm other people.
Oh, but it’s good to see Dr Fauci released from durance and allowed to do his bloody job again.
I so agree, Fishers. It must have been almost intolerable for him to have to be anywhere near to ****p, listening to the rubbishing of science on a daily basis.

I like Randy’s lip gloss. Just sayin’

Hmmm
A family driving from Leicester to Stoke ‘to see the snow’ crashed & required the services of 8 Emergency vehicles…
