If There Was Another 'Lock Down' Mandate Would You Comply?

[nailedit]

Or another mask mandate or vax requirement?

Or any other abuse of your freedoms?

would you simply submit?

I would comply as much as I did for the last one.

People can be wise in hindsight but in March 2020 when we went into lockdown very little was known about Covid.

People were dying in large numbers in Iran and Italy. I remember watching the footage from Bergano. And of course there was no vaccine before December 2020.

Other countries eg Spain and China had stricter lockdowns than us, and they seem to have survived it.

fiveleaves, you said

The vaccine doesn't stop you getting Covid but it limits the severity of Covid

I will ask again...how do you know that?

Other countries eg Spain and China had stricter lockdowns than us, and they seem to have survived it.

And (a very few) countries eg Sweden, had no lockdowns at all to speak of and they survived it infinitely better. Their number of deaths (related to the population) was far better (2.34 per 1,000 population as opposed to 2.86 here) but more than that they are not saddled with £400bn of debt,their young people's education did not suffer the deprivations that ours did, their population did not end up with mental health problems that many people here did and thir business and commerce is not suffering from the hangover froma cure that caused more damage than the disease.

The people in China had to virtually revolt (almost unknown in that country) to get their governement to reverse its ridiculous "zero Covid" policy which saw many of them suffering from starvation and malnutrition as they were forcibly confined to their homes.

"Lockdowns" do not work. Airborne respiratory viruses cannot be prevented from spreading. The economic and social consequences of the actions taken by this (and other) governments will be felt for decades to come. Some of the damage will never be reversed. The country had a perfectly robust plan for dealing with a pandemic which had been developed over many years. But the government ditched it when the going got tough. Instead of telling people that it was impossible to prevent the spread of the virus they told them we would "fight it", "beat it" and all other such nonsense.

Well, we are now reaping the consequences of that monumental folly and, whatever the outcome of the enquiry (if indeed there ever is any worthwhile outcome) this country will never again close large parts of its economy and society to combat an airborne virus. So, as I said earlier, thie question of compliance with such measures will not arise.
