I think what mainly happened was the government, who are clueless, took the decisions based on perceived âpublic moodâ, intense business lobbying and what other countries were doing, and the state-affiliated public health crisis management team was asked to justify decisions that in their heart of hearts they could not possibly have believed in.
This was ticking all through September and October. Many posters here predicted it, not least of all me. They had plenty of opportunity to stop it. Boosters @TheUlteriorMotive
By the way TUM, I think theyâve already suggested that theyâre going to scrap the 6 month booster rule for aul folks in their 60s who go the AZ and their 2nd dose was delayed (you might recall). This was on the front page of one of the papers.

If you got the Janssen vaccine its a 3 month gap I think.
Also, it doesnât make any sense how you still have to sit down in pubs but nightclubs are at 100% capacity.
Nightclubs didnât even expect to get 100% capacity, they were getting ready to open on about 60%.
The only way out is through I think ⌠everything else has been tried and is just Bollox

I think the primary focus should be on the vulnerable, as it should have been from the beginning. Itâs true that relatively speaking more unvaccinated are in hospital, but the significant issue is that people over 65 are 25X more likely to be hospitalized compared to a teenager or young adult, and that gets progressively worse as age increases. There should be nobody over 65 unvaccinated and they should all have had boosters at this point, we knew about immunity waning in summer, itâs ridiculous how long the roll out of boosters has been (even here).
Other than that we could be in a tough spot entering winter. I honestly donât believe people will abide by another lockdown, especially the young, so boosters are the best bet.

How did that end up ? I never saw the film âŚ
Yes people will abide by another lockdown because lockdown is largely based on whether businesses can legally trade or not.
Therefore people have no choice but to abide by it.
And the majority of people will abide by both the spirit and the letter of it in a general sense.
The activities of fascist thugs like in Rotterdam are amplified far beyond their significance by the nature of social media.
In reality there are very, very few people like that.

Yes, donât bother your ass reading studies or trying to understand the complexities of the situation. Simply, bury your head in the sand and trust your government.

Good for you. The problem is the vaccine fascists get very bent out of shape when others want to take responsibility for this aspect of their own lives.
