Actually there are only a few but they post a lot on the subject, so it appears that the amount of doom is far more than actually exists in the general public. I could name the handful of Lemons but I won't as you know who the usual suspects are anyway.
In my general interactions with people I find that they are content with how the UK has taken a leading role in vaccinations, and that they believe that the variable data-driven response to the virus is superior to that of most other countries.
They also understand that the risk is low of becoming seriously ill or dying at this stage, and they feel good about continuing to relax restrictions.
As someone else noted above, there are people who just enjoy being gloomy and they seem to invest a lot of time and energy in propagating that here. But I believe that most people see through that, and remain confident and optimistic that the worst is well behind us.
