So, now, let us new variant that's more infectious than delta, has a vaccine escape from current vaccines & also resistant to existing immunity. It's a possibility that this occurs.
Just think about what that means in terms of being able to spread, infections & hospitalizations & ultimately deaths.
Like i said, we're only going to be able to play catch up against variants for the next few years and this is why we need to maintain a significant degree of caution. Unless of course you want us to return to the lockdowns of earlier this year & last year

The booster is just supplies of an existing developed vaccine is it not ?

Partly, but it has been modified to tackle the variant.
As for the first part of your post, this is your imagination working overtime. Things can be fast tracked, and the South African variant was known about last year and hasn’t arrived on these shores in any great numbers yet.
You are looking for problems where there aren’t any. Solutions are now at hand.
Sorry, mate, but you are going to have to go back to normal. I’m not sure what you are worried about, whether it’s furlough being terminated, going back to the office or what, but whatever is motivating your desperate wish to keep restrictions in place, you will just have to get used to it. It is all at an end now (and hopefully, overseas travel will soon be back to near normal as well).
We’re not going back to lockdowns and all the associated crap, that’s just how it is.
Now, where was that nightclub I was thinking of going to when normality returned?
