You can certainly see countries working their way up the Nuffield Intervention Ladder;
If and when each stage fails to improve things, you go up a step. Smoking and high sugar foods are at the 'Guide Choice Through Disincentives' through taxation in the UK.
Germany seems to be at the 'Restrict choice' stage, Greece at 'Guide Choice Through Disincentives' and Austria is topping out at 'Eliminate Choice' |
No more lockdowns! We have already established that lockdowns only slow down the virus until they end, then back it comes. Besides which, they ruin economies, and if people want better funding for the health service and the benefits system, and all the other public services, we need the economy to be thriving.
You also need to take account of the fact that getting our freedoms back is a big incentive to getting the vaccine. Take away that incentive, and a great number of people won’t bother anymore.
Our freedoms need preserving and these knee-jerk reactions to control people must stop. People will revolt in the end, big time. Is that what we want?
