I have a feeling Britain is being set up for a massive "third wave" and even more oppressive lockdown, probably involving curfews and checkpoints this time. The government has deliberately sowed seeds of doubt about AZ, meaning not many will take it now which the gov will blame for the "third wave".
Many mainstream media outlets, particularly the Daily Mail, are now cynically demanding that lockdown is ended, when they've shilled in favour of it ever since the "pandemic" started, despite SAGE "warning" that if lockdown is ended there will be a huge "third wave" in the summer.
They seem to be laying the groundwork for an even worse lockdown, which will be blamed on 1. vaccine hesitancy (that they engineered), 2. some media outlets demanding lockdown is ended, and 3. public fatigued by the restrictions no longer complying with them. Also, a huge "third wave" in the summer will mean that lockdown will likely end up being a year-round, permanent thing and not just in the winter months.
