My view.
Nations with large numbers of overweight unfit people suffered the most
Those vulnerable due to other conditions and or poor immune responses need a vaccine
The ability to produce a vaccine at such short notice should be both applauded and questioned in equal measure.
In the long distant past of my school years a vaccine was based on whole dead viruses , not bits of said virus.( a “proper” vaccine wouldn’t need to be tweaked for each and every minor mutation in the virus)
A bit of sensible thinking would have concentrated efforts on protecting the vulnerable not everyone.
A nation that’s fixated on zero risk needs to look at how it lives in general not just at one virus.
We seem to have learnt that if you throw enough money about it is quite easy to please nearly “all of the people all of the time” which again should be cause for concern, when our elected leaders are throwing everyone elses money/future about.
A positve LFT is probably worth a tidy sum to anyone wanting a week off in the public sector.
Omicron has shown that its little more than the annual “ have you had the bug that’s going around” for the vast majority in the population, as such in any other year it’d have been pretty much unnoticed.
