> Second in line for the jab at University Hospital in Coventry was 81-year-old William Shakespeare from Warwickshire

His high priority must've been on purpose, right?

Given that he was second in line... He was patient 2B (or not to be)?

I wonder if he was randomly determined to patient 1 for the vaccine, then they thought the conspiracy theorists will go nuts if they find out William Shakespear had the first shot

Typical, celebrities getting priority.

Gotta admire how good the vaccine is though, reviving the dead
