Yes.

At a certain point though, as I said, surely 'covid lite' is just as dangerous as covid. These are people who can be killed easily with a bit of a bad stomach..

I get why they were done, as the government would look cold as **** to do it my way. And it doesnt sit right to just 'leave them as they might die either way' but..in terms of actually sorting the economy and stuff...and also thinking about how many are getting flu symptoms from the vaccine...seems...almost counterproductive to induce flu symptoms in the very old/vulnerable?! Those symptoms alone could easily kill/hospitalise that group..then we are back to square one/.
