"Nobody cares about Covid anymore"

Unless you believe the conspiracy theories, the WHO pandemic treaty is an entirely reasonable and responsible process for our government to participate in.

• Building a reliable global supply chain for pandemic response products
• Strengthening global manufacturing capacity for pandemic-related products  
• Increasing research and development capacities of parties of the accord
• Promoting scientific and technical cooperation between signatory countries
• Ensuring timely access to affordable, safe, efficacious, and effective pandemic response products, including diagnostics, vaccines, personal protective equipment, and therapeutics
• Sharing of pathogens, genetic sequence data
• Strengthening the resilience of signatory countries’ health systems
• Sustaining a skilled and competent health workforce in signatory countries
• Implementing effective and efficient monitoring of pandemic prevention and preparedness

It is a complex answer involving multiple data points, it has been explained in detail, there is no bouncing around when all the data points are relevant.

That you can't bring those data points together in understanding is on you, I asked before to make an effort, I'll ask it again and note that this has been covered multiple times previously.

If you want to spin away and disagree with the data points, you're free to do so, but your claim that vaccines didn't allow us to drop restrictions is entirely and completely incorrect and will be pointed out each time you try and make it, using the data points listed above.

Ignoring all the factors that meant we didn't reopen in September that were explained in detail then complains about a question not being answered.

You've had an awful record over the pandemic and it mostly comes down to an unwillingness to grasp explanations, you are continuing this pattern again.

They did allow us to drop all restrictions. It would have happened eventually even without vaccines but likely a couple of years and millions more deaths later.

Denmark-Kept it out of nursing homes for the most part?

HK-Naive population (to the virus due to strict covid isolation rules and perhaps a less effetitve vaccine)?

Sweden-Transport hub, so conservatively a month ahead of its neighbours in seeding the virus?

It will all come out in the wash analysing excess deaths over 4/5 years.

I cannot dismiss the "conspiracy crowd" 'cos imo it (a coronavirus) should never have been declared a pandemic.

Trite, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

In your response you mention the vaccine situation in HK - less effective vaccines, and\or also in their case a large number of vulnerable unvaccinated.

Which was the relevant point the poster was making in the context by contrast to Denmark.

What was different was the vaccines, not the coronavirus strain.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? At an individual level I would have to disagree. Lots of injuries and diseases which you can survive can leave you with crippling, debilitating life changing consequences.

Sounds like you don't find it craic but can't stop listening to it. I don't think I've heard her on the radio ever.

If you are still asking "...but why..." after 3yrs of asking the same questions, perhaps its time to stop.

They are all essentially the same issues going around and around in circles. Most strawman.

How could they know you were vaccinated without checking your status?

So what were you restricted from doing... Nothing.

And those measures were lifted as planned and would not have been lifted without vaccines.

So yes vaccines brought about the end of restrictions.

This is also demonstrated by the lifting of restrictions and measures pre Omicron in other countries.

Vaccines brought in the COVID certs, omicron got rid of them.

Your statement has already been demonstrated to be false on the thread laying out the timelines for the lifting of restrictions here and elsewhere eg Denmark.

It was ending before Omicron here and elsewhere.

Nightclubs were reopening. Music venues at full capacity.

Your statement is demonstrably false with regard to timelines.

We didnt have that in early December.

It was brought in when? Come on answer up because the date demonstrates the falseness of your claims.

So we didnt have it when Delta was circulating and was in place briefly until the Omicron impact could be assessed.

There goes that argument.
