In a Thursday interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Dr. Ian Lipkin, director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, said that the novel coronavirus may never go away.

Lipkin said that it is likely future generations will be vaccinated against COVID-19, but noted that additional booster doses may be necessary. The expert described the progress in vaccine development as “staggering,” suggesting that vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer will be able to significantly reduce the spread of the virus.

Or, we can just ignore these worry warts and magically, it will go away as the virus runs its course.

As long as there is a democratic politician, there’ll be a “virus”.

And if we ever conquer Covid 19, the Chinese can always release Covid 20 along with the cheering of Fauci and the Marxist enemies of America.

Yeah. Funny how that works. Too much power to be had in order for it to go away.

I agree. The latest report show the death rates have not changed. The only thing that has changed is what is written on the certificate. That’s like having a widow maker heart attack and a cold, then have the cold be used as the cause of death.

Covid lock downs are a tyrant’s dream. They can do anything and say it’s for public health. I don’t trust any of them that lock down and force oppressive actions on the people.

“It is going to be a recurring problem. I don’t think life will ever be completely normal again.”

Horse hockey.

There are at least three cheap, easy and highly effective treatments for the 0.06% deadly virus.

1.5-2 million dead out of 7.5 billion is a rounding error

Certainly if it is left up to the lying health “officials.” The CDC and Fauci are absolutely trying to prolong this “pandemic” to feed their collective egos.

We’re almost a year into this thing and these geniuses are still referring to it as the “novel” coronavirus.

This is the greatest news (although contrived) for the Globalists. They are being given a license for Fascism and the destruction of the US Republic.

The Spanish Flu virus is still around. Why would we think this one is going away?

Sometimes I wonder if anyone paid attention in high school biology? This stuff was all covered back then.

The Spanish Flu is still around. So's the Bubonic Plague. So what?

I and my family survived COVID without having to go to the hospital or even take special medication. Unless you're old, sickly or a huge fatass, you have little danger from COVID. Scared of killing meemaw with it? More elderly have probably died from loneliness than from COVID (except in New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, where the Dem Governors wanted dead old people).

Does this expert have any opinion on how this virus was released to into the world?

Is he an open market or lab created supporter?

Never mind that the overall death rate is right in line with the past twenty years.
