It wouldn't make sense to stop if herd immunity is the objective, which is the usual vaccine strategy.
More likely that Johnson, being put on the spot, just blustered around it as usual.
My assessment of him is that he can't make a decision on anything until he absolutely has to. I recognise that tendency in my myself - I like all the data, and then some more, and then time to reconsider to get things right. But I recognise that delaying decisions can mean the options dramatically reduce, sometimes to the point where there is only one left. I think that problem has afflicted both Brexit and the pandemic response.
