The whole reason for vaccination is to reduce the pressure on the NHS, same as the flu jab. The side effect is that it saves lives too. Maybe thats a bit blunt, but its true. The reason for lockdown now is to stop younger folk spreading it to older generations, whether that be by meeting or living in a multi generational house. Once those older people have been vaccinated, they younger folks can get on with life, so I think its the right approach

...seemingly not though?!

I mean, a huge proportion of those people are now vaccinated, yet still theres talk of bloody May? And the goalposts shift yet again to 'all over 18s in the country to be vaccinated'
