That's not a very scientific response. If you disregard any evidence that goes against your point of view, you are not being scientific.
Is this forum a scientific platform? How do you even know my point of view?
I never claimed to have provided a scientific contribution. How could I, given that the only info I had come across was this article? I'm sorry, but I have no means nor motivation to check the accuracy of that report. It's not my job either since I'm not an epidemiologist, after all. I'm also not aware of what evidence you may be talking about as you haven't presented it. This report seemed sufficient to me to raise doubt on the claim that opening up would not result in an increase of hospitalisation and that I therefore have my doubts about it's accuracy. What's wrong with that?

A different perspective maybe:
I took two doses of vaccine which resulted in severe neurological issues that still persist after 8 months. Previously a healthy, active, non smoking/drinking 40 odd year old person with no health issues. But since getting the vaccines have spend most of the time searching for help, going around hospitals, doctors, scans and numerous blood tests all at my own expense as NHS doesn't recognize reactions other than anaphylaxis as vaccine side effects.
There are many many people like me who don't get medical/media attention as it is inconvenient for authorities to accept there are life altering and life limiting side effects especially for younger people.
My main reason to take vaccines was to relocate to Cyprus which had been in the plans for a while before pandemic started. But now without a booster there is no possiblity of me getting into supermarket to buy groceries leave alone restaurants/cafes. I already asked and there is no medical exemption from further doses for people like me.
So I threw my health believing the 'science' stated by the authorities who now say we need a third and a fourth and so on doses.
Would worst case of getting Covid have been better for younger healthier people like me? Considering it is a respiratory illness maybe it would not have gone straight to my brain and caused irreversible damage like the vaccines did?
How come vaccines (which normally take over a decade) were developed faster than therapeutics and given emergency approval?
How come me not getting a further dose but still wearing N95 mask when indoors in public spaces is causing infection issues to vaccinated people?
What is the point of further doses and enforcing them with safe passes when vaccines don't stop the vaccinated person from spreading the virus or from getting infected by the virus?
Why is there no mention in media about the surveys that the more doses you take the more likely your chances of getting infected?
Sorry to hear about your health issues.
Can you be sure that they were caused by the vaccine, though? Can you also know for sure that actually getting Covid - as we all will - wouldn't be worse without the vaccines? It does occasionally kill otherwise healthy people.

Even now the great Mr Fauci and Mr Gates have conceded that natural immunity is far better then injection.
But only if you survive the way you acquired it. And if you did without long-term damage (the percentage of those suffering from long-covid after infection is higher than 10%, even if you had mild symptoms).

Frankly nature provided a great solution, why meddle for the sake of money?
Ask my friend who is in his fifties and has been suffering from long covid for more than a year. Or his wife who passed it to him and whose kidney function is still compromised.

Well, the people I am in contact with who cannot have the vaccine for medical reasons are all doing well and, if anything, their health problems make them far more vulnerable than most of the general public.
