In April last year, I attended a 70th birthday celebration lunch in a basement restaurant in London. The guests had travelled there from America, Sweden and other parts of the UK. We were there for four hours, everyone mingling and talking at the tops of their voices after the long-time-no-see hugs. I was one of the few who wasn’t a doctor, and likely the only unvaccinated one: all the others would have had every booster going.

Perfect conditions for catching Covid19...Of the twenty-three of us, twenty got the lurgy, including me (but for *me* it was the first time). Birthday boy, an eminent neurosurgeon, had told me a few months earlier at another lunch that he was going to keep getting the boosters, because “You can’t be too safe”.
