>Is there evidence for that assertion?
Justin Madders tried to explain the policy and what they call 'key workers' on Politics Live a couple of days ago.
Rayner got skewered because their soundbite vaccine priority policy keeps changing and doesn't even make sense. As far as teachers go: a) what little evidence there is shows that teachers are not more vulnerable to either infection or death than us oldies. b) Schools were closed primarily to try and prevent the infection from being passed to families by usually asymptomatic kids. They were not closed to protect teachers as Labour is trying to tell us.
She also tried to claim that prioritising what they call 'key workers*' first wouldn't mean delaying shots for everyone else. How the £%^ she works that out I don't know.
* Key Worker - Definition volatile.
