1) I find it incredibly weird how so many of the previously most ardent lockdown sceptics have now become vaccine evangelists.

Grow a backbone. It was never necessary to have a vaccine before we could return to normality, and these people know it.

2) I feel like this is reflective of the fact that these sceptics want to distance themselves from being called "anti vaxxers".

First of all, this is pandering to the propagandists' smears. You can be pro vaccines, but anti rushed, experimental, emergency use vaccines.

3) You can also be pro vaccines for illnesses which have a high enough infection fatality rate to justify such an intervention, but anti a vaccine with a high risk to reward ratio versus the risks posed by the disease.

4) You can be pro informed choice, voluntary vaccines, but anti for coerced and/or mandated vaccines.

It seems to me that many of the lockdown-sceptics-turned-vaccine-evangelists are unwilling to accept or address these largely uncontroversial viewpoints.

5) Only a couple of months ago these same people were saying "we can't wait for a vaccine, a vaccine might not be found".

How do you jump from that opinion to now acting as if the vaccine is the panacea?

6) They are starting to sound like members of the covid fear cult. Celebrating vaccine roll out as though it is the second coming of Christ.

If you truly believe that the whole thing has been exaggerated at every opportunity, and we've been lied to on an industrial scale...

7) ...then I see no reason to pander to this narrative.

No matter what your opinion on the safety of vaccines, if you are "ok" with people being coerced or forced to take it against their will, or else have their freedoms removed, then what was the point in fighting?

8) If you were going to just end up capitulating to a government who is pivoting their flavour of fascism from lockdowns to vaccines, vax passports, and freedom passes, then you might as well never have dissented - because you have traded one form of draconianism for another.

9) I'm not against vaccines, including the covid vaccine. If people wish to take it then they should be free to do so. But I am against forcing any contingent of the population to take it for the same reason I'm against lockdowns...

10) ...it is fundamentally wrong as it is an infringement of inalienable individual rights, and worse - of bodily autonomy.
