If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s “eat out to help out”, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ‘save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

@KimSJ check again, those spikes correspond with the vax launch.

@shwell @KimSJ I did it, and the vaccination for the normal population started on 18/01/2021 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccination_in_the_United_Kingdom). It is exactly at the peak, before the numbers started to go down. That means they had nothing to do with the previous increase in cases (how could they have caused something happening one or two weeks before being rolled up?!). But they may be linked to the decrease in cases after and during the rollout. If you see a graph and think something happening at a spike is what caused it, then you really don't understand how cause and effect work.
