The jubilation about ‘freedom day’ is misplaced. The ranking of who is better or worse in terms of increasing numbers is inappropriate. The fact of a pandemic is that getting over it is a global effort and depends on the weakest link catching up, not the biggest bullshitting boaster’s claims. It is ironic that globalisation is understood by the neoliberals only to mean freedom of the rich to plunder the earth but without the duties of looking after it and after the weak. Without massive vaccine rollout it is meaningless to say we are OK in UK because 70% of adults are vaccinated. We are living in cloud and cuckoo land and ignoring what might come next.
