I'll take it, but it does seem odd that such an own goal should just be allowed to slip through.
I believe they're temporarily letting the pressure off and cynically pretending to concede to anti-vax and anti-lockdown activists so that this "recklessness" can be blamed for a massive and unprecedented wave in a few months time, and anti-vax and anti-lockdown activists are being set up to be blamed for it especially.
In the UK this coincides with the lifting of almost all restrictions on the 19th of July. This is to create a rift between those who want normality and those who want the restrictions to continue indefinitely, so that the former will be blamed by the latter when a new unprecedent scamdemic is declared soon.
They are hoping that the resulting backlash against anti-vax and anti-lockdown activists will be enough to create a mandate for compulsory vaccines and vaccine passports.
It's also interesting that Piers Corbyn, the de facto leader of the anti-vax and anti-lockdown movement in the UK, was caught a few days ago accepting cash bribes in a restaurant and colluding with people he believed to be representatives of AstraZeneca.
The timing of this is very interesting. I think by revealing Piers Corbyn to be corrupt and a fraud and effectively hanging him out to dry, they are intending to destroy the reputation of the movement with normies and make them a laughing stock and also contemptible that they are lead by such a corrupt and dishonest character. This will only fuel the anger towards anti-vax and anti-lockdown supporters which is undoubtedly the intention.
