Complacency Rules, OK?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is predicting a 2022 winter wave of deaths from Covid19 infections. Bizarrely, the new UK government is making a 63% reduction in its advertising budget for the NHS English vaccination programme this year (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/07/ministers-cut-nhs-covid-jabs-ad-budget-by-63-despite-winter-wave-fears). This reduction seems very oddly timed, especially when many elderly folk mistakenly believe that Covid19 is no longer a killer. The WHO (and others) think that Covid19 vaccinations are likely to become an annual event (like seasonal 'flu).
