NGL, I was choked up in my car when I was lined up for my very first COVID jab.
Honestly thought it was over, and the events since have informed much of my cynicism about our species.
Polio can’t be compared to COVID when you talk about vaccines.
COVID mutates like the flu, meaning a vaccine was never meant to eradicate it. It simply can’t.
COVID vaccines still help to prevent severe illness, but it was never a permanent cure.
People were morons, but even if we all did what we were told to do, COVID would still exist.
To be fair, there was a chance. If 8 billion humans observed quarantine properly and vaccinated we would destroy all forms of influenza.
Didn’t we do that? Now my kid is bringing home a different strain every other day
In theory yes, but it’s just not realistic for the whole world. In the western world, yes, we can isolate us if we want. It’s just not that easy everywhere.
I said a chance. Not that it was a big one.
My favorite thing about social media is people who argue for no good reason other than to entertain themselves.
No I don’t.

You going too deep with it.
I don’t know about the US, but here in Germany covid is just part of life now, like the flu. My neighbor is an intensive care nurse and she says there are no covid patients anymore or if there are, they’re on the same level as influenca.
If you have been vaccinated, then the current strains are about as deadly as the flu. We still need to keep ready for new strains and for sudden surges that can quickly overwhelm a single location’s health care capacity. This is true of influenza as well, a new strain hitting a small contained community can cause issues.
Absolutely. That’s what I was talking about. We keep on monitoring covid like the flu-variants, but we don’t change our lives for covid any more than we do for the common flu.
It has gotten a lot better 😀
Choked up? Like a rando strangled you?
Honestly thought it was over
You didn’t know it could mutate?
