    I have always said that bus and especially taxi drivers were at much higher risk than teachers and it would be interesting to see the death rates between these groups of workers.
    Its possible i'm way off the mark but i think many more drivers than teachers have contracted the virus in their working environment,i would also say that factory,call centre and other office workers were also at a higher risk than those in the teaching profession.

    There are also electricians joiners plumbers etc who have to enter peoples home business's hospitals etc to do work.Who is going to say a teacher should be vaccined before any of them?Think every person would have to fill in a form to say why they should jump the queue which would only lead to longer waits.The way they are doing it is probably the fairest but not perfect people like me getting it before others who are at more risk through there work or fitness etc is not Ideal but think they have went for best they can to safe those most in danger of death.

    Good post and its correct the vaccine rollout would be severely disrupted with the unions fighting like phuck about whose workers were more important to the country.
    You would then get the Tories and their press slagging off the FM and blaming her for the vaccination programme going tits up,FACT.

    Mortality rate for men & women in England & Wales. Taxi drivers in another article sit at 101 with bus drivers at 70.
