An interesting post, that throws up many thoughts and questions for me. Yes I definitely agree that there is a dynamic going on. I find myself going back to my long held Lib Dem views ( as an activist I take a keen interest). I find myself going along with the rules because I want to stay safe and I would not wish to put my community at risk, if I had Covid and the symptoms have not yet manifested.

However people being people will do what they think best. It is interesting how with omicron spreading through London and the suburbs like a wild fire, that many of those who chose not to get vaccinated previously are coming forward for their first jab. Why have they changed their minds now? I don't know, but their is certainly a sense of panic this time round, even though their isn't the scientific evidence (yet) to say that it is worse than previous variants. Residents of London don't seem to be going out unless they really have to and many have placed themselves in a kind of self imposed lockdown without the government imposing greater sanctions. This is a very curious dynamic I think!!
