Why is Westminster Lifting All COVID Restrictions?
“A scientist advising the government has accused ministers of allowing infections to rip through the younger population in an effort to bolster levels of immunity before the NHS faces winter pressures.”
A guardian article link.
““What we are seeing is a decision by the government to get as many people infected as possible, as quickly as possible, while using rhetoric about caution as a way of putting the blame on the public for the consequences,” said Prof Robert West, a health psychologist at University College London who participates in Sage’s behavioural science subgroup.”
Perhaps that is why they are slow to roll out vaccines for younger folk? They want them to acquire natural immunity. It would be cheaper. Or perhaps not, who knows? An angle worth considering.
