How is it so slow for a pandemic level, airborne virus to take years to spread around a small island nation that was described as being terrible and pre-vaccination riddled with the infectous virus spreading amongst millions in packed unventilated environments?
the UK had a sky high infection rate BEFORE the vax was even being trialed. The uk has a terrible problem with communicable diseases because it has a densely packed population and is dependent on public transport. Every day 10s of thousands of people travelling in and out of London on jam packed trains for hours with little or ventilation, millions on the underground rail networks too.
The UK also has a problem with anti vaxxers, and with people from certain groups who refused to mask up or socially distance.
Surely with a simple R0 factor of 1 person infects 2 other, by now everyone there should have had it by now.
But no only around 10-12% have been a case - despite a million-ish tests a day
humm so something is not right with your doom prediction, lets look at all deaths
In week 40 2021, no statistically significant excess all-cause mortality by week of death
was observed overall in England through the EuroMOMO algorithm. In the devolved
administrations, no statistically significant excess all-cause mortality for all ages was
observed for Wales and Northern Ireland in week 39. Excess mortality was observed in
Scotland for week 37
In actual fact the graph shows, fewer people are dying than expected currently
All-Caus e Mortality Surveillance
14 October 2021 – Week 41 report (up to week 40 data)
But its ok the Flu is expected to kill 60,000 this year (almost 10x more than normal) and adding the Neurotoxic chemical to the water supply will save their teeth.
60,000 may die of flu due to low immunity caused by lockdown as 35m offered jab
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam urges Brits 'defend yourselves' as flu is back with a war on the seasonal bug to see 35million brits offered a free jab - modelling shows there could be 60,000 winter deaths due to low immunity after lockdowns
If the 10 to 12% figure for infections is correct and we have had c140k deaths the waiting for 'natural herd immunity' would have resulted in hundreds of thousands dead.
Excess mortality is negligible despite rising case numbers, this would seem good evidence of the value of the vaccine.
There hasn't been a lockdown in the UK for months and at no point was going outside prohibited. Why would people immune systems be affected?

Covid19 has been going for 22 months!
how can Any one Not have been exposed?
there is no point to a vax. we All have it.
but it was never about protecting us.
its THEM telling us to give up all freedom so they can protect us.
but who will protecting from THEM?

Based on a 12 percent infection rate in 18 months, a 1.6 percent death rate, and an 80 percent infection rate needed for herd immunity ... it would take the UK at least 3 years and 800,000 deaths to reach herd immunity without a vaccine, and those are low ball numbers.

Not just your culture, they know nothing about anything that doesn't quite fit their narrative. I think Puzzled2 said it best, if the nation has such a problem that the virus is spreading rapidly why would it take years to reach total saturation? Nothing the person says makes a lick of sense in any thread.

1.6% is probably on the high side. IFR is likely about half that (as you cover in your post).
However that is based on the restrictions being kept in place, probably impossible over that time frame and with higher cases comes comes potentially strain on hospitaks increasing the deaths.
It would be also impossible to keep sheilding the most vulnerable over that time period meaning more high risk people become exposed potentially increasing deaths as well.

I was low balling the figures, but OK. If we say that double the number of people have been infected from the official figures but never knew because 50 percent of them were asymptomatic. That's 24% of the population infected in 18 months, which would make the mortality rate 0.8% rather than 1.6%.
A typical unvaxxed person with covid will infect 3-4 other people.
Based on those numbers in order to reach heard immunity (80 percent of the population, as a bare minimum, 24 percent in 18 months) 400,000 people would die and it would take until at least 2024.
This is of course without the vaccine.

there has to be a point when we all just say enough is enough, lets learn to live with it and let natural immunity take its course.
The problem with that is that by the time the UK reaches herd immunity a couple of hundred thousand people will have died from covid.
Building up a natural resistance will take years.

Wrong. 94% of British have antibodies as of a couple of months ago. There is no herd immunity against a cold virus such as covid. Body does not dedicated much resource against non serious diseases such as cold.

So the latest news coming out of the Uk is that the reason we have the highest amount of infections is because of the early success of the vaccine rollout. This means the vaccine is has now waned to a point were it is no longer effective.
Story here
This will now become the narrative for pushing the boosters, I can just feel the next lockdown in the UK is imminent and I for one and just sick and tired of it all, there has to be a point when we all just say enough is enough, lets learn to live with it and let natural immunity take its course.

You talk like there aren't places like India that are massively more densely packed than the UK. Are they experiencing this same uptrend? They're not? No they aren't.

India is experiencing the same problems, it's just not as well documented.
