Yes, you are correct, the last stage is more lockdowns as we blame the latest variant (or whatever) for all the excess death. I was focusing on the last sentence in Stage 11: "It’s also impossible to know in advance how soon it will become clear that the vaccines are responsible—or just how violent a backlash against the political and economic establishment this could provoke." It was the knowledge that the vaccines are responsible and the backlash against the establishment that I was focusing on. Where I was coming from is, I don't think I will see that in my lifetime, not unless a lot of people get really hungry. We have already experienced lockdowns, no toilet paper, fired from jobs, etc., and nobody did anything. I think no food would be different. Not wishing for that to happen at all, just observing that there are no consequences for the more lockdowns, etc. I find myself withdrawing a little more every day. That is probably a good thing.
