CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Lets not forget, there is still the capability for this thing to evolve again, and for our vaccination to be as useful as drying your hair in the shower.

I agree entirely, and the chance of that happening greatly increases when less people are vaccinated.

This pandemic is not just about Delta, the current growing global outbreak will almost certainly be an aggregation of the original strain, the Alpha strain and the Delta strain, and the next deadly strain if one appears. None have died off, disappeared or evaporated as The Donald proselytised to the nutter hoards.

There are two very dangerous concepts in this debate, one is alluded to by Elwood discussing the behaviour of his UK relatives on Freedom Day, the other is that extinction is both a plan and a possibility. Both concepts promote complacency on a massive social scale, we will bid our time and then be set free!

The thought that the vaccinations aren't perfect should not be indirectly or incidentally inferring the idea of doing nothing while waiting for something better to come along, not acting is very dangerous and not incidental. Doing nothing is not the safe option.

As much resource should be piled into hospitals as is being piled on vaccine production, but unfortunately the historical evidence suggests that won't happen. The talisman of this current pandemic have been warning authorities since the 1990s, and have been ignored. The lockdowns, the restrictions, the vaccinations are a consequence of ignoring those warnings. Historically it is the political equivalent of waiting for your car to breakdown before you do a service.
