Been looking a bit more closely at the poll which Ipsos did to support the Mirrorr/Labour/NEU to move teachers up the vaccinaton queue. And, well, I think the question was a bit misleading.

Here - via Ben Page are the details: https://twitter.com/benatipsosmori/status/1355152761592164360

The keen-eyed will see that respondents appear to have been asked who should get the jab after the four key groups have been given theirs. But that's not the whole story.

Here - from the BBC - you'll see there of course NINE groups who are currently prioritised. These prioritisations are on the basis of *clinical* advice. In other words, very knowledgeable doctors and scientists think they need it first.

Here's the full list: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55045639

But respondents do not seem to have been given this information. They were presented with a list of candidate groups without knowing that the medical advice was for the remaining five priority groups to go first.

I humbly think that if respondents had been asked a more accurate question - should, eg, teachers take places in the queue which are currently assigned to 16- to 64-year-olds with serious underlying health conditions - then the answer may well have been different.
