When people are asked to choose who gets a life-saving vaccine, their answers don’t match the logic that drives most healthcare funding decisions.
The public expects transparency about politicians’ earnings, but it’s not the only area where elite groups have an advantage.
In an effort to get as many people vaccinated as possible, some countries have used a stick. Maybe a carrot would be better.
Randomised controlled trials are used for drug trials. They should be used to find out of incentives to get the jab work too.
New study looks at public attitudes to COVID-19 vaccine aid. The results are reassuring.
Whatever approach is taken, the vaccine roll-out has to be fair and efficient.
A cyclical lockdown policy based on odd and even house numbers could be the best way to exit the lockdown.
Without a clear plan, valuable time will be lost.
