If people didn't obey government in every restriction in spring/summer 2020, we can have no restriciotns today.
The reason that we still have restrictions is that the virus is still circulating, with a high R-value. And the main reason for this is that we haven't quite achieved herd immunity, because not enough people have taken the vaccine. It is anti-vaxxers who are causing the restrictions, which is strange as they are the ones responsible.
Look at the data.
Situationa in my country. Government lied us about almost everything from last year spring. They scared people on purpose. They abused whole situation to steal public funds. They're changing rules of restrictions based upon their private interest. The restrictions had no effect and still destroying economy of whole country. This is the purpose why antivaxxers exists - the government just lost people's trust. Look at the data? Which one? The one from liers?
I know some people close to me who lives in country, where government choosed different way. They simply don't lie (much) and don't try to steal (much). In that country, the situation is different - the people trust government and trust to vaccines. In our country, we trust nobody, government is an enemy and people get jabs just because of fear.
