Vaccines are not going to stop Covid just as flu vaccines have never eliminated the flu.
The virus is part and parcel of life and needs to be treated as such.
The sooner everyone accepts the fact that people are going to die of Covid on a regular basis the sooner countries and economies are going to be able to get back on their feet.
Nobody shuts a country down because of the flu so there is no reason why it needs to be done with Covid. Once the vaccines a proven safe and are administered annually just like the flu vaccine there is absolutely no reason why the Covid IFR will be any worse than that of influenza.
Considering the fact that the IFR for Covid was estimated to be in the 0.3% to 0.6% prior to vaccines being available and that vaccines are now between 60% to 95% effective there is every reason to believe that the overall IFR for Covid, once regular vaccination programs are in place globally, should fall below 0.1% which puts it in the same ball park as influenza.
There is honestly nothing to worry about. The virus isn't the problem. It's the over-the-top reactions by governments that are causing most of issues that many countries are facing.
The biggest mistake is in believing that masks actually help bring infections rate down despite all the data showing that masking the population actually makes matters worse.
