So pumping loads of fake money into the system, de_basing that system...doesn't knacker the system? Can't be bothered to get into some long and protracted discussion about quantative easing. In a nutshell, it's a bad thing.
Don't get caught up in the left/right paradigm, both left and right are the same entity...the uni party. On small things there are differences, but on letting big corp, big banks etc, both sides of the very same coin let them get away with daylight robbery. How may executives during the greatest scam of ever ala 2008 during the premiership of labour went to jail, I'll tell you, zero. I could go on, but I'll just leave it at their th same, they just wear different coloured ties.

Okay, so what is your solution? To damage the economy and lives by letting the virus sweep through the population with no restrictions?

The spending power of a hundred or so individuals compared to the spending power of the rest of the nation's population? That might be an interesting rabbit hole to go down later.

For those that are vulnerable or ill, if they want to get the jab, let them go for it, also, if they want to keep out of harm's way and wait for it to disappear, let them do that. For the rest of us, let it rip...as Johnson is doing now, the later partly he's doing that because he's getting heat from those inside the Tory government.
We can not let the government hold out lives to ransome indefinitely, especially so as given by the indicators that this version is mild. If left to its own devices, this flu will just become a normal yearly thing and life will carry on as it always has.
Without putting my tinfoil hat on, I really think there's something quite sinister going on behind the scenes. I do think it is the case that through the back door they're trying to get us all on a system that China has got going...the Social Credit Score System. Such an easy way to have mass control of populations. If you don't play ball, zoink, that's you getting barred from your bank account. I think given the data, this whole thing has been one great big giant charade. It could we'll be the case that some well intentioned individuals have been hoodwinked along the way, all the same, all of this from the get-go has been as sketchy as f..k, stuff just doesn't add up.
I'm not suggesting that all of a sudden those that have been vaccinated are going to drop dead due to the ingredients in the jabs and it was all part of some super secret plan all along like some elsewhere, maybe that will happen, maybe it won't, I don't know, I do hope that the former isn't the case.
As Terrance Mckenna once said
"We are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary."

But who exactly are the vulnerable and Ill, when I looked pretty much anyone over 50 could be considered as vulnerable?

No. You missed my point.
We're all at the mercy of totalitarianism if we follow the path that we're currently headed on. No-one was spared the gulags, even the poor/children, you name it were sent to them for a never ending cycle of sentences. Read the Gulag Archipelago and find out the horrors that ensued. Cannibal Island looked comfy too.

There's no issue with calling mid 50 year olds for a prostate examination, make this the same, if you want the vaccine, have it if it makes you feel comfortable. Anyone else who is likely to weather a bout of covid just fine, leave them be.
Let's face it, the vaccine doesn't stop you getting or spreading covid it's helping with the ageing population not die when they catch it, so vaccinate the ageing population and let's get on with it.

It does prevent spread to a degree. If vaccinated you will be fighting the virus quicker and thus have a shorter window where you can transmit it. Every little helps.

The number 1 priority of the government is to protect the people its serves, whether you like it or not this is what they are doing, so you cant just "get on with it" because life isnt that simple. I'm sure youd wouldn't have the same attitude if you lost someone close to you, even more so if you knew the government could of done alot more to protect you and your loved ones

Andy, don't preach to me, my grandmother “died from covid” in a carehome. In reality, she had dementia and we were expecting the call any minute anyway, the week before we were told to expect it... she was added to the stats for covid deaths.
