We like to pretend we are better than the animal kingdom
But from the looks of it, humans resonate more with sheeps behavior than we would like to admit. Just like you said, the herd mentality is part of us and clearly it can ultimately lead all of us to no good.

× Somehow, freedom now resonates with vaccination. For a disease with merely 0.1% death rates, we still have to come with term of living within a new normal reality under total government's control over our lifes. To go back to the old normal, you must be injected with an experimental vaccine. How #ed up is that?
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

The old normal is dead for.
Ironically, most people I know took the vaccine in order to get back to normal. Little did they know just how much deceived they actually are. Can you believe last week my own Prime Minister claimed out of his ass that all of this was just the very beginning?
My conclusion is enjoy it while it lasts. Clearly the next 10 years will be painful beyond words. Our little illusions will be shaken like never before and if you're smart you will now start to learn about how to live in the moment of now. Gratitude is key.
Better late than never

Ehrm..
I know, it's much nicer to rant along and pretend there is a super state that tries to get y'all - but you should at least get your facts straight, methinks. A vaccin is NOT a replacement of your natural defense / immune system.
The entire idea of a vaccin is that it boosts your natural immune system. What it does: it mimics the covid virus (it mimics the look-and-feel of the covid virus but it isn't the covid virus) and your immune system then kicks in to remove it from your system. So, it is your immune system (the very one that you say is not used) that learns how to do that and will remember how to do that for a while. This comes in handy if it has to fight similar artefacts that may enter your body. Like, for example, the REAL covid virus.
The other way of training your immune system is by getting Covid. This will do roughly the same but then you are infected by the real full-force Covid virus. And, it may happen (underlined may) that your immune system will overreact and as a result your respiratory system is damaged, which may even result in death.
This does not happen very often, but if it happens, the results are catastrophical. Especially if you're older or already sick, e.g. obese, suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure etc. And if we had not done anything, the hospitals would have been flooded and doctors would have the difficult choice to make whom they'd let live, whom would die.
We prevented that. Some measures are ridiculous, some are oversized. But all in all, we didn't do that bad. Though it remains the question if it was worth all that money to save a few lives. Go talk to the child of the mother that survived.

Which PM was that?
Ours in the UK is lifting restrictions on 19th July.
Because vaccines are working.

My man...
You clearly don't have a clue what's going on huh?
You're telling me about restrictions being lifted away "because" of so-called vaccines. You say that like it was a good thing. For real, how delusionnal can you be?
Your main argument seems to be about being vaccinated to get more freedom. The kind of liberties you had freely before the whole Covid hysteria. So what's your point? The restrictions you're talking about should not even be there in the first place. You rejoice when they pretend to give you more freedom when they are simply giving you back what you had from the start...
And yet you're talking about embarassment....

How many times has your PM pushed out your reopen date again? Too many times to count.
How do you know the vaccines are working? Because your government told you so?
You’re discombobulated. You said it yourself.
