Prof Hayward, UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE): The fact that we’ve got 55 per cent of the adult population double vaccinated means that this will be substantially less bad than it could’ve been but we still don’t know exactly how bad it could be.

That sounds like good news - thank God for the vaccines - but the next thing he says is:

The fact that the level of hospitalisations from this infection appear to be maybe up to double those from the previous infection is of course also extremely concerning.

Professor, you've made two statements that directly contradict each other - like 180 degrees. In one breath you're saying it won't be as bad due to the UK's mass vaccination, in the next you're saying it will be twice as bad. So which one is it?
