CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

I want to see the end of the elimination strategy but we can only do that ethically when we have 60% or more vaccinated. The botched vaccination rollout is holding us all hostage.

This is so true, it's self-evident in the numbers appearing globally.

But I'd assert based on the latest figures, it now looks like the immunity levels will need to be in the 80% plus range, this is partly due to the apparent reduced efficacy against Delta strain, and partly due to the failing community tolerance for compliance.

Let's hope the updated vaccines being tested now improve the efficacy against both Alpha and Delta.

I heard an epidemiologist on a podcast last night make a very valid point last night regarding letting COVID run free, this will greatly accelerate the production of variants and that could well create a variant that our vaccines have zero efficacy against. He stated it's not a case of trying one direction then if it doesn't work going back to the old way, when you make one choice you might remove the other.
