So, if they don't die in the first wave of COVID, they need to die of underfunding? I mean sterilizing immunity through infection is now known (through many thousands of documented re-infections and likely hundreds of millions) to be both irresponsible and a failure. However, if the goal was to reduce the long term cost of the British medical system through the death of it's oldest and most expensive, then perhaps there is still hope by simply reducing funds?

> I mean sterilizing immunity through infection is now known (through many thousands of documented re-infections and likely hundreds of millions) to be both irresponsible and a failure. Infection is documented at being more effective at protecting you from reinfection and from having serious complications from a subsequent infection. Let's not pretend that the Great Barrington Declaration was necessarily wrong, given the suffering supply chain disruptions are now causing, not to mention the excess deaths from untreated conditions and increases in substance abuse. Only hindsight will give us a proper understanding of which choices were better.
