The science behind the Pfizer vaccine is really interesting, the concept of a "universal" vaccine delivery system is also really positive for future vaccines being turned out in much shorter timescales than we are used to.
I'm personally hoping that once the first three groups of people have been inoculated that restrictions should be much lighter. Once the Astrazeneca vaccine is available, the rate of vaccination should increase massively.

I agree once the majority of the vulnerable have been vaccinated I think restrictions can and need to be relaxed. However hygiene standards will need to remain high which is no bad thing. |

"Any further details on the article and is it evidence-based? Based on the current official plans and resources? "
Other than the sources quoted in the article, WHO, Pfizer, UK department of health, Imperial college to name a few mentioned |

As would social distancing measures that we currently have surely. |

Doubtful that social distancing will remain as a lot of the businesses that have managed to survive could continue to do so with it in place.
If protection of the elderly and vulnerable has reduced hospitalisations then the economic consequences of restrictions will be further to the fore. |

Time will tell, but reading that article it is around for a while even with the vaccination of the vulnerable. |

It's interesting but depressing. I had a lovely few days thinking Boris could be right and we'd be doing good by the end of April. 
It's good though, need to be realistic. Long read but glad I did. Thank you for finding it.  |

Another way to look at it is we may be doing good come April with significantly reduced numbers of deaths, the medical staff might have a less stressful day with not so many to treat all at the same time, other medical treatments could resume fully, but yes it’s not a magic “let’s get back to normal” quick fix.
Still so many aspects the scientists aren’t sure of, best to be realistic but with the knowledge moving in the right direction, albeit slowly |

I saw that the other day, I was all for the vaccine until I saw they had been given liability protection. If it works why do they need protection, and if they're not sure of side effects then its not ready to be dished out to the public. Then when the UK MD for Pfizer was questioned about it he refused to talk about clauses in the contract. |

I believe that is the case for any vaccine that has been issued over the years. |

See the article in the independent never mentioned that every other vaccine has the same conditions, I've never been against vaccines, I always get the flu jab and my kid has had all the jabs. Without having any knowledge of how vaccines work I just found it scary to think they've designed and manufactured a vaccine in 8 or so months. Think I'm going to have to go down the YouTube rabbit hole to educate myself more on the subject haha |

I totally agree, the speed it has been produced is daunting, but knowing they’ve worked on similar technology for sometime helped. I’ve always had vaccinations without question as had my lad. The only one I was wary of was the MMR after its feedback at the time, however after a bit of research this was sorted and my lad had it when due.
This one I’m bottom of the pile for being given it, as is my lad - if we are offered it, so I’ve got plenty of time to decide and read more papers as the scientists learn more about it |
