The herd immunity strategy appeals to the extremist libertarian views of
the Tory leaders (and their US counterparts). A full-scale attack on
suppressing the virus, as seen successfully elsewhere, requires an
enormous outlay of money and government organization to keep businesses
and individuals afloat and to provide proper quarantine measures during
relatively brief but rigorous lockdowns. For the Tory ideologues — as
fanatical in their brutally destructive beliefs as any ISIS operative –
this is literally anathema. They believe the only legitimate function of
government is to maintain the dominance of the very wealthy – because in
their barbaric doctrine, money is the supreme measure of moral worth.
They begrudge every single penny spent on those who lack this “moral”
stature; they genuinely believe that those who are not rich are not as
worthy or valuable as those who are.
