The thing they seem to want most of all - more, even, than they want you to take the fucking vaccine - is to stop thinking.
I did get vaccinated. I'm in a high risk group for Covid, middle-aged, already had kids. There's a limited amount I have to lose, reasonable amount to gain.
What's the cost\benefit for my children? Sling 'em full of a vaccine that's still not done the full round of testing because ... ? Oh, that's right, because there's a 0.001% chance they'll catch it and get the sniffles for a bit. Fuck. Off.
A co-worker of mine said recently: "All I'm saying, is that of all the people who recently got sick with COVID here, they weren't vaccinated."
...
Great. And so what are you going to tell me when people who did get vaccinated also get sick with covid because the virus is endemic? You know, like this UK Naval Strike group
That's the bit they're desperately trying to avoid conceding, I think. Which is pretty weird for the group telling everybody else they're anti-science.
I don't think it's realistic at this point to put any serious consideration to putting the genie back in the bottle. Not for any decent-size country - I think one of the Channel Islands has managed it, but they're tiny.
Instead we get demands for eternal lockdowns until we've actually eradicated the virus (at least, that's what I'm forced to assume from the total lack of success conditions attached to the last one)

There's no point to it, but that's what politicians are best at: creating unsolvable problems and using your money to not solve them.
