The answer always given is what else do we do about hospital numbers. I don’t know. But what I’d say baggy1 is if this gets worse and worse, and the science says that’s it you can’t go out, no family, stay in other than half hour walk a day for 5 years, would you support this? After all there’s no other option. The science and the numbers in hospital say that’s it. Online shopping only, wfh and not go out at all.
Theoretical (and you’ll say stupid), but what would be your stance if the stats and science said this was the situation? Where would you draw the line on freedom of choice in this theoretical scenario?
You appear to be ignoring the improvements that we have seen from the jabs, they have reduced numbers to the point that they are the minority in hospital now. There are still 5 or 6M people not vaccinated at the moment, that is a huge pool to get 30k from. We will always have people in hospital with it, I would say for the next 5 years based on the Spanish Flu, but jabs keep those numbers down until we get that herd immunity. And yes we will need boosters, and as much as people say they aren't going to do it the longer we will be in this mess.
It is embarrassingly simple - we have to do something, refusing a jab on moral grounds aint going to make one jot of difference to the virus. The less people jabbed with regular boosters, the more will be in hospital and the more we will be shut down. Those are the real choices and if people don't like them they need to find a solution, doing nothing isn't that solution.
