Johnson said: \u201cto get there we must first navigate a hard winter, when the burden on our NHS is heaviest, and cold weather favours the virus\u2026\u00a0If we ease off now, we risk losing control all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Mr Johnson said, perpetual lockdown would do nothing but \u201csuppress\u201d the coronavirus until a vaccine comes \u201cto our aid\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Yet subsequent comments by the science experts flanking the Prime Minister at Thursday\u2019s conference made clear that the arrival of a vaccine would not necessarily herald the end of Covid-19 as repeat vaccinations may, in the eyes of the government, be required in return for allowing society to re-establish itself.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the PM, Patrick Vallance said of the propensity of viruses to mutate for their own survival: \u201cit is possible that as the vaccines work, and they put pressures on the virus, that the virus mutates and other forms arise that would require new vaccines in due course. So I don\u2019t think it is the case that the vaccines we have now will be the ones we have forever, we may have to get new ones\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Vallance compared the mutation to the flu virus and the annual vaccinations released for the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Whitty also interjected on the matter of repeated vaccinations, remarking that with some diseases, immunity falls with time and so top-up courses are required.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"western\"><em>Follow Breitbart London on Facebook:<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BreitbartLondon\/\">Breitbart London<\/a><\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking at the Downing Street press conference hours after the details of the new post-lockdown-lockdown\u00a0were revealed to the country, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made clear to the nation that there was no reasonable hope of lockdown ending soon, saying merely that there was \u201creason to hope\u201d that spring would see an end of \u201cthis era &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2273505,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2273505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
