Could the Oxford Vaccine Change the Course of the Pandemic?
The University of Oxford has released new data on its Covid-19 vaccine which suggests the jab may reduce transmission by 67%.
This means the jab, developed with drugs firm AstraZeneca, could have a greater impact on the pandemic, as each person who is vaccinated will indirectly protect other people as well.
The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, has also shown that the vaccine offers protection of 76% up to 12 weeks after a single dose.
This supports the UK’s government strategy of delaying the second shot to protect more people quickly with a first dose.
The UK has given a first vaccine jab to 9.6 million people so far.

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring
