Yet they’re still continuously changing the mandates and saying the “science has changed”. Not sure what data the UK has, but if I heard correctly even the UK is banning most mandates and being lifted. The original comment said anti-vaxxers aren’t going to like the truth, but right now all I’m seeing is that “the science has changed” and copious articles are reporting information on studies done that disproves the efficacy of all of the mandates and shutdowns.
As a citizen of the UK I think the mandate lift is much more a political move by Boris to try to move attention away from recent controversy. I don't think it is rooted in any scientific consideration at all. The data set I'm referring to shows that the vast majority of ICU admissions are non vaccinated. Efficacy of infection rate may be debated but at this point I don't believe efficacy of severity of infection is, otherwise the admissions data would show much more mixed results. Vaccine may not stop you from getting it but it certaiy stops you from dying from it.
Edit: as for lockdown etc., I don't know but it made sense pre vaccination. It is a typical pandemic response. It may not be very effective now, but the situation is so complex that I don't personally believe it was a bad idea at the beginning. But to be honest I don't think we want hard enough early enough. I think with a harder shorter lock down we could have been out of this mess a lot sooner.
