What evidence have you got that the double jabbed appear to be completely fearless? There's a stronger case to say it's the unvaccinated who are fearless, otherwise they would have got the vaccine. How are the double jabbed any more likely to come along regardless of how they feel? You're making stuff up.

Sounds like you are saying distancing should be reintroduced. Surely you're not suggesting it is better to go back to that so that the unvaccinated can attend?

What are the behaviours you're referring to that are pretty much gone?
From what I can see behaviour, excepting masks, is pretty much what it would be if there was no Covid. That is in all age groups so given 82% of adults are vaccinated then the vast majority I witness when I have to nip to the shops are vaccinated. If I did, I was probably wrong to suggest the vaccinated are more likely to have changed behaviours than those that haven't been jagged. However, I remember the way many colleagues and other friends and acquaintances changed habits after vaccination by going out more and joining mates they hadn't seen for ages. What I am saying is behaviours, most of which were very effective in stopping the spread, have been forgotten and ignored en masse and the vast majority of those who are ignoring any distancing and heading into indoor areas etc with mates are vaccinated. Given that I'm absolutely saying that distancing should be reintroduced. It is by far the most effective way of stopping the spread. If the government care about reducing numbers of citizens dying they need to consider more lockdowns, they are more bothered about commerce than death of citizens though.

I have no issues with actions which will have obvious benefits even if it means I lose some liberty, as long as that is done with equality in mind. Most of the restrictions were done with rules that I could understand and exemptions were generally about what role in society you had. I think I supported them all even the ones that seemed senseless. I could buy into that and it worked incredibly well. This measure won't have much if any impact on Covid imo. The virus is gaining strength and another new strain is already in England. The vaccine is losing the race at least in terms of people being infected. Yes, the vaccine has been very positive but to me the time is right to think about bringing back distancing and closing down pubs, clubs and other indoor venues that are not essential. Then maybe have a look at outdoor activities. This new rule has nothing to do with the spread of Covid though imo.
