The question is valid. The assumptions by Linudden to arrive at the those conclusions are flawed though.

Thanks for the very informative reply.
Been reading more this morning and have found that, at the moment, they still don't know if the vaccine has any effect on transmission, so it is correct that, until we have an answer, we need to vaccinate everyone we can, on the assumption that it does impact transmission, but will need to change the approach if that is found not to be the case?
One thing though, seeing as the impact on the younger ones isn't anything like the older generations, would it not make more sense than rather vaccinate 40 million in the UK, seeing as how we will have everyone we can over 50 vaccinated soon, we instead shipped those shots abroad and made sure we vaccinated 40 million elderly people elsewhere first?
