The Government know that that there are millions of people wandering around unvaxinated and additionally these are largely the group that have started voting "Conservative" since 2016 because Facebook and feelings equals facts etc. The Government know only a small fraction of these people will actually die because of COVID so they can still be relied upon at the next election. The main collateral damage in all this is, of course, the NHS. If I have to point out the Governents actions (not their words) on the operation on the NHS in the last decade, then I'm not sure we are speaking the same language. And if I hear "Labour would have been bad/worse" one more time ... I won't be surprised at this stage.

> these are largely the group that have started voting "Conservative" That's not been my experience - it's the people who are distrustful of the government (any party) that aren't getting vaxxed. I think people have a very short memory regarding the conservative vote in the last election: It was to unstick the whole Brexit issue and to stop a hard left party getting into power. Hardly anyone I know thought Boris would be a good PM, but at least those 2 mentioned things would happen.
