So why are we likely to be locked down again then? They either work and stop people getting seriously ill and needing to go to hospital or they don't.
Pleasantly surprised by this public statement that he got boosted

Cos too many folk are having to isolate with (usually) no or minor symptoms.
When I say people, I mean nurses, porters, cleaners, etc in hospitals. I cant quite my head round it.
Because there are
- still a lot of unvaccinated people
- even for those vaccinated (especially the elderly/immune compromised) a small percentage of people will end up needing care and if they all get infected at the same time a small % of a very large number is still a large number
- healthcare workers also get infected. Even if there are the same number of hospitalizations if there are 20% less staff to deal with them (which is what happened in South Africa) then that alone will cause issues.
Starting to get information from my daughters primary school about possible contingency plans for home learning (again) after Christmas.
When will this nightmare end.?

Oh was sure he would get boosted, he has always cared about his own skin, was just surprised he made it public and encouraged his supporters to get it. Hopefully improves uptake.
But if you have chosen to be unvaccinated then why should everybody else who has chosen to have it be locked away if the vaccine works.

I think the big question now is what’s the end game? Those not vaccinated yet likely just won’t ever get it. So what do we do? Wait for treatment to get better/more effective? Or are we just accepting this is going to be a thing every year with new variants popping up? People who have done everything right are getting really frustrated, and I don’t blame them.
Well, expecting that vaccines would make the disease magically disappear demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what we are dealing with. Combined with the fact your posts are (understandably) motivated by a deep anger at lockdowns, I don't think I can explain it any better than it already has been hundreds of times on this very thread in a way that would satisfy you
We need to have a serious debate about testing and telling people with no symptoms to isolate.

Its 2 years now. Being jabbed does not stop you getting it. Nor spreading it. It reduces the impact on you, and AFAIK, transmission of it.

It does kinda baffle me a bit.
