Are government about to do a u-turn after vaccine rollout?

Also, I think he mentioned Lockdown not the other things because that’s the opposite of what we’re just starting - undoing Lockdown and opening up again. Since Jan, it has been Lockdown that’s reduced spread. Vaccinated and unvaccinated alike were locked down.

I did read something about herd immunity and how close we were but I can’t find it now. It was part of a general article.

As regards encouraging people to get vaccinated, I don’t think Boris’s words will dissuade many people. Most people want the vaccine and the ones who don’t have made up their mind anyway. Herd immunity via vaccine would be a lot closer if those people had the vaccine.

I also can't see his comments making much of a case for bringing vaccine passports in when he says it's not the vaccines that work.

It depends what the passports will be used for. I think they’re potentially a good idea.

It’s not that he said the vaccines don’t work, he said the main reason for squashing spread was the Lockdown. That started in Jan. Not many people were vaccinated then. So it was locking down that reduced cases and vaccines are helping us get on the way out of this. Both things are true.
 
Must admit I am a bit surprised that you all seem to be looking for consistency in anything that Johnston comes out with. When he is not reading from a script he has a tendency to say whatever he wants to be true at the time. Talking to farmers he will tell them that meat production is essential for the well being of the country, talking to the vegetarian society he will tell them that meat is killing people in droves. I recommend you take the trouble to seek out an unedited, verbatim, report of any of these non scripted utterances and read them. You will find them incoherent.

He was a newspaperman and not a very good one at that, he was fired for making stuff up. Getting something out was the only thing that mattered, consistency, logic and well thought through argument were never important. I am afraid that those traits show up in most everything he does or says.

Is that the same as telling lies?
