The vaccine is not 100% effective

There are groups of people who cannot be vaccinated ( immuno suppressed for instance)

Some people, inevitably will end up being missed.

Yes I understand that, but the greatest risk is for those who don't get vaccinated, and if that is their choice it's up to them, most people who can, will, and those that can't will be extra cautious (as they already are) to avoid it.

Haha reminds me of when I was a kid I convinced my mate that if he cut a 26.1cm piece of string, pissed on it and held it next to his ear close to the Masts on Ashton Moss he'd pickup Piccadilly radio.

That is absolutely brilliant, and possibly the funniest post in this thread, although given the subject matter. Superb

Yes, there are risks to them, but there are many risks to others too. If my son had an immuno suppressant disorder ( he doesn't) I'm not sure I'd agree that the "greatest risk " was to vaccine refusniks.

If it's about saving lives why was it ok for 3 million cancer screenings to be cancelled between March and September?

This is one those completely misleading ideas. Cancer and therefore the need to screen for it is a high risk to pretty much exactly the same group of people as Covid.
When the majority of those tests were not available the NHS could not protect many people form Covid it was short of PPE . If three million people are screened for cancer you may save a few thousand lives in a few years time . If 20% of Three million people get covid in that age group with comorbidities a mortality of maybe 5% You could kill thirty thousand people there and then and leave others with lungs so damaged they would be unable to be treated for cancer.

Covid will cause people to die of cancer in a few years time but screening susceptible people in the middle of a pandemic can kill more.
 
Top scorers today were Birmingham 592 (up from 529), Leeds 420 (down from 497), Bradford at 354 (down from 435) and Leicester who had 250 yesterday and 245 today - worst numbers in weeks and up there with Manchester today .

But the highest UK Pop score today was in Blackburn where its 102 cases took it to 5203.

Warrington at 66 (A third of what it was scoring) also had its best day since tier 3 came in.

And Rossendale at 18 by far its lowest in weeks where for this tiny borough it was getting 4 or 5 times that number recently.

So the NW in general seems to have fallen almost everywhere in last few days.

Sorry, I can't copy and paste on this. Telegraph website from 3rd November had article on whether ICU beds are close to capacity or not.

If you look back at the hospital data I posted earlier I give the full details for London, NW, NE and Yorks and North West for patients, ventilator beds, numbers over past 3 days and where they all are in terms of capacity these areas reached in wave one in April.

I do this every evening.
