Well that's not the whole story, Sure it would come in eventually, the point is it arrived here much sooner because the UK government didn't put India on the Red list when it should have. The point being cases might not be as high as some people might not have gotten as ill and ended up dying as we would have had the chance of getting more people vaccinated.
So it disagree I think it does matter especially to those that have caught this variant before vaccination and have become seriously ill or died the past few weeks.
Instead we had government ministers lying about infection rates and trying to justify their inaction rather than just putting their hands up and saying we cocked up again. But that's politicians for you .
