If you're gamble doesn't pay off we could all be starting the whole sorry affair all over again. After all, you do know we're only playing catch-up with a virus which has got form for getting away from us. It's done it (possibly more than) once and is pretty likely to do it again - every time the virus replicates there's a chance it could mutate and that's kind of like playing virus russian roulette as the more often you pull the trigger.......

It looks to me (could be wrong) that you (and others) want lock downs to continue until everyone in the UK has been vaccinated and no new variants have appeared, which seems a tad silly to me.
Let me explain before you turn purple . . . there are other countries in the World with the same problems, and many of those are nowhere near our vaccinated population level. This means that unless you
really lock down for months (or years) by closing all access to this country there will be further variants arriving daily/weekly/monthly until the whole world has been vaccinated and there have been no more variants anywhere for a period of time (3 months? ).
Doesn't seem a sound plan to me, but hey if that's what you want . . .
