I disagree. Unless this virus mutates like the seasonal flu, it will eventually be mostly gone. As I understand, the current vaccines cover all the mutations we’ve seen this far. Now, if that changes then yes, it’s with us forever. Barring that, between attrition from vaccines and natural reinfection resistance (I think my father was one of the few in his nursing home to get it twice and most got it once), I see it petering out over time.
I don’t get why they’re called vaccines.
One can still get sick and still pass the virus.
It’s a symptom mitigator.
The “flu shot” isn’t called a vaccine...
Actually observe the masked: worn with gaps around nose or under the nose, carelessly handled and stored, infrequently replaced or washed and, the biggest thing, of plain cloth that filters no pathogens, but only stops droplets.
Then, observe touching: touching store products others and cashiers and baggers have touched, touching door handles, touching mail others and carriers have touched, touching car surfaces touched on last outing, touching the mask after touching other things...
It is a joke upon ourselves, to anyone with an average IQ actually thinking about it.
I must believe that herd immunity has largely happened, maybe at 80% now.
Unlike the flu this thing has no natural reservoir for mutations to spring from. (Pigs and chickens in Chinese squalor living side by side with humans) This thing was lab created. Every action by the CCP indicates guilt. The jump from bat to human wasn’t natural and it looks like the Chinese f&^%d with a bat virus to make it jump. (For the final nail in the coffin see the Wuhan Virology Lab wild bat cage patents and wild bat breeding methodology patents)
The virus is just too efficient at infecting humans and therein lies its weakness. Those spikes on the picture of the thing we have all seen are like keys to the locks on our cell walls. (ACE receptors) Mutate away from having those spikes, and the virus does not infect humans. Those spikes is what is being immunized against. Natural immunity may key off of any part of the virus and “may” allow reinfection, though most likely much less severe, but if the vaccine actually keys on those spikes, no mutation other than a new way to infect will allow reinfection. (close to impossible odds)
That is the theory at least to my best understanding.
Results out of Israel have me scratching my head. Massive vaccinations should be dropping infection rates. Some (gas_dr) say that there has not been enough time, but immune responses fall on a bell curve. There should have been some impact by now. Why there has been no change in the rate of new infection concerns me.
