Since we posted, UK and German scientists now say there can be no herd immunity with delta variant which inevitably will become endemic, only ending clinical relevance once every available host dies or recovers, since "vaccines" regrettably are not preventing infection.

They also call for a new consistent reporting model, since constantly changing tally definitions are difficult to track and risk panic if disease burden is overstated by large scary numbers. Which is rich when you look at what they've been doing, or consider that the UK death definition is "within 28 days of positive test" in a cohort overwhelmingly aged over 80y, but that can wait. ;-)

Whether politicians are capable of the resulting next step segue is yet to be seen. The fate of vaccine passports will be interesting; do those proposing mandates and othering have the ability to change direction, or are they too invested in their certainty?
