If allowed to say this, we struggled initially with the vaccines in the spring for multiple reasons, but we rolled out the vaccines with superb efficiency.
We are facing another wave, but all of us who had the vaccines are protected to some degree might be 40% 50% who knows.
The issue that I see is that the message got lost, vaccines weren't the panacea, we had to temper our collective actions, we needed to get the economy going again, as did the rest of the world.
But here we are, and the adjustments that are needed to reverse the new wave aren't as arduous as the initial lockdowns etc.
If nobody got the booster but kept up the good practices of mask wearing etc we wouldn't have this wave.
This isn't going to solve itself by drugs alone it needs everyone to revert to sensible actions.
We would have taken 50% normality a year ago and perhaps that's what we need to accept now, as the science will still patter on in the background and into next year, when new approaches will be developed that will hopefully save even more lives and protect those who need protection.
We probably need to be grateful for what we have rather than wish to have, afterall its meant to be the season of good will.
Its our hands to reverse this, the governments have done their bit, but now we need to pick up and plough on.
