Antivaxxers are about 2% of the population if that here, not a significant portion. We'll be fine. Hesitancy is a bit higher, but that's increasingly being cut through and people are choosing to do the right thing. Also we don't really have a choice at this point other than "keep restrictions to the bare minimum that keep the virus at a manageable level, while pushing as hard as we can to finish the vaccine rollout ASAP". There's neither the funding nor the public goodwill left to keep pursuing the strategy of eliminating outbreaks with drawn-out lockdowns, even without taking into account that that strategy doesn't seem to work against Delta outbreaks anyway. (Despite our much stricter rules and better compliance, the outbreak was always following a similar trajectory to NSW's and Victoria's anyway.) Doubly so when we see things like, gang members violating the rules and getting off more or less scot-free, while people doing the right thing are left with reduced (if any) income, not able to see their friends and family, etc. It's for a good cause, but not doing anything about blatant rulebreakers is majorly eroding compliance from those who were previously happy to follow restrictions. --- 1) This board is not for asking about or disputing Trumbles. <cite>Trumble posted [p:958877429] in By the end...
