Anybody with a memory knows Herd Immunity, a la, Sweden was originally the plan. Our scientists at the time said that was “the” science.
It was still the case that when forced to go into lockdown it was to “protect the NHS”. Flatten the curve not eradicate infection.
Herd immunity via vaccine or a controlled rate of infection would always be the only way out. A whack a mole policy where local NHS resources were at risk.
If we didn’t have a vaccine we would still have had to open up in some fashion.
I don’t know why the Gov are denying it. The story here is that they are denying it, not that it existed. Bizarre really.
