A vaccine trains the body to produce antibodies to help resist a disease that a person has not come into contact with before, we agree on that.
In biology immunity is the ability of the body to resist harmful microorganisms, this comes in varying degrees dependant on the strength of an individuals natural immune system. It will never stop you becoming infected but will train your body to resist the infection. You have vastly oversimplified this part and completely ignored the middle ground.
As to the study on lockdowns, I take that on board and agree to a certain extent. No one had the benefit of hindsight that this study has and should be used to understand the best way to respond in future rather than criticise the past.
The simple fact was at the start they didn’t know how serious this could be so aired on the side of caution. I can’t stand BJ and his cronies but I don’t think they had a choice at the time and held out as long as they could, our lockdowns were never as strict as many other countries. I don’t believe they were ever trying to stop everyone from catching this thing as the only way out was immunity, the lockdowns prevented too many from catching it at once before the vaccine was rolled out thus preventing a total breakdown of the NHS.
I agree, the Government made the correct decision initially but thereafter they were given poor advice based on bad science. As Phuzzy has said the definition of vaccine has been changed to suit their narrative.
