1,400 out of 24,000 participants.
A third of the UK population is over 55 years old.
Does that look like it's a reliable number of participants?

Clearly, not the main point of the article, but she has multiple vacation houses and a massive house in Potomac (most expensive area in Maryland).Oh ffs, how bloody hard is it for the people leading this to model good behaviour
WASHINGTON (AP) — As COVID-19 cases skyrocketed before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus response, warned Americans to “be vigilant” and limit celebrations to “your immediate household.”
Birx travels, family visits highlight pandemic safety perils
WASHINGTON (AP) — As COVID-19 cases skyrocketed before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus response, warned Americans to “be vigilant” and limit celebrations to “your immediate household.”apnews.com
For many Americans that guidance has been difficult to abide, including for Birx herself.
The day after Thanksgiving, she traveled to one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware. She was accompanied by three generations of her family from two households. Birx, her husband Paige Reffe, a daughter, son-in-law and two young grandchildren were present.
I never realized Dr. Birx was such a baller
Never knew you moonlighted as a medical trial designer Dave, we truly are blessed.
It was actually 1440 out of 11000 in phase 3 trials. I don’t have the numbers for phase 1 and 2.
Overall more data is needed on the over 55’s and that’s why trials are continuing focused on the over 55’s. The results are expected within the next 10 days.
Also note that due to the severe allergic reactions seen with the Pfizer vaccine every person who gets the dose now has to be monitored for 15 minutes following the vaccine.
this has prompted a number of Gp surgery’s to remove themselves from the program as they don’t have the staff to support this. This will only serve to delay the rollout of this particular vaccine.
No such problems seen with the Oxford vaccine.
I think all of us have to bear in mind that development time of all the vaccines was compressed from 3 years to 9 months. That in itself is an unbelievable achievement.
If you’re still not happy to receive the Oxford Vaccine, you could always opt for the Sputnik V vaccine. 92% efficacy, however it will probably be the last thing you ever do.

It already is in other countries. This strain has existed since September.
The difference is every other country wasn't looking for a ready made excuse for London.
Need to get the Oxford vaccine approved and rolled out asap. No time to waste with thing’s escalating so rapidly.

I dont have to be.
It's simple enough to understand that if you want to make sure a trial for a vaccine that's going to overwhelmingly be targeted at stopping death and illness in older age groups, then there needs to be a greater proportion than 1:20 of the participants to be from those age groups.
