It is becoming clear that without the majority of people vaccinated we will have to rely on the other tools including lockdowns.
The striking point in all of this is the stupidity of people and their 'distrust of authority / government'. These appear to be the same people who trust 'experts' on social media that have constantly been wrong about 'we've reached herd immunity', 'it's seasonal', 'it's endemic not pandemic', 'the vaccines are dangerous', 'the vaccine can cause infertility', 'we don't need lockdowns' - that really is strikingly stupid.
It's all very well saying this but which Government are we supposed to trust? For example with the AZ jab we are not using it on under 30's whilst others are using it only on people over 50 and Denmark have banned it all together. Who is correct?
