More or Less: Omicron, Pandemic Birth Rates and Boosters

Series 599, episode 1

The pandemic seems to be entering a new phase as Omicron has taken hold. Predictions that lockdowns might lead to a baby boom have proven wrong - in fact fertility is falling. This edition also examines a baffling claim about the number of children being abducted every year in the US after claims by a Republican politician on social media, and probes how the Government's promise to give everyone a booster jab before New Year's Day fared
