Because hospital was full of ICU anti-vaccine people so they didn't get proper treatment or surgery ? No idea but it's certainly consequent.
Btw cancer itself is not contagious and there's no vaccine for it. Same for heart problems.
From my perspective it was a bloodbath but nothing any politicians could do would have changed the way it played out much. It is like trying to legislate out of a hurricane. Nov-Dec 2020 was just absurd in our neck of the words. Thank god we are so far past that. At this point treatments are there, vaccines are there, people can make informed choices. The vaccine is about protecting individuals from death, it doesn't prevent the spread of the disease, you can have it and spread it with the vaccine but the vaccine prevents being hospitalized, disabled, vented, die, etc. It reduces the severity of it for you but not those you give it to. It is a personal choice about personal protection at this point and it should be treated like a personal healthcare decision, like a flu shot, like an abortion, etc. Bodily autonomy is the value of which I speak. If it becomes part of public school and military required vaccinations then it seems like it will be forced in those cases. But it is a volunteer military and there are plenty of militias to train you (lol) and you can find charter schools or religious schools to accommodate you more than likely. Public schools are authoritarian it is what it is.
Britain finally did right by its people by opening up. This is as good as it is gonna get in terms of public safety.
