The stress point is interesting. I had been thinking about it myself. If we can agree that those who complied in full would be the ones who were exposing to themselves to the media, in-store announcements and so on, then - if they didn't have enough psychic resistance - they would be leaving themselves open to a never-ending assault of bad news and fear (both of the virus and of being one of the evil/stupid ones - the dreaded 'out-group). This can't be healthy. I remember remarking on it at the time: there was no positive message along the lines of get some fresh air, build up your natural immunity and so on. Instead, it was 'be afraid', 'put this thing over your mouth', and if you want freedom (oh to be the elect!), stick this in your arm. In the meantime, they were encouraged to demonise the untermenshen - either scorning our stupidity or contemplating on how we were to be best isolated from society - a mutual friend of ours sharing Chomsky's opinion on FB springs to mind.

You might be right about the unvaxxed demographic being less likely to have school-age children - though not in my case, obviously - and many others that come to mind.

I think, also, you are underestimating the stress us scum were under. I know people who were driven to the wall over this. I saw my step-son told he would lose his job, and my daughter told she would not be able to do the thing she loved - first hand I saw how hard it was. We also did not know it would be temporary, We had well-connected 'people' like Blair asy that 'idiots like us would struggle to do a normal life'. We saw what we thought of us as friends go along with all of this, too. So, genuinely, I would like to know what you consider 'being put under more stress' would look like?

It is unlikely we will ever see an impartial analysis of what happened. The establishment were so all-in on it, they couldn't possibly allow unhelpful information to seep out.
