Rejected petition Urgently review our strategy for dealing with Covid 19 going into the New Year

The WHO themselves have repeatedly said that “lockdowns don’t work” and the hidden, long-term socio-economic costs of our current strategy are barely understood. The NHS’s own stats show that Covid 19 poses little threat to the healthy population at large so we need a new, more thoughtful approach.

More details

With vaccines rolling out into the New Year, we should consider a bold strategy of ‘shielding pending vaccination’ for the vulnerable while restrictions are systematically phased out for the population at large. The majority for whom Covid presents minimal risk to life but an existential threat to economic and psychological wellbeing. The needs of the many should not continue to be outweighed by the needs of the few. 2020 is the year we shattered our economy, let 2021 be the year we rebuild it.
