The fact that they made these vaccines so quickly and (apparently) so well is a testament to what humans can do when we put a ton of try-hard into something. That said, if we didn't have vaccines and people just kept on dying, it would definitely suck, but we would still have surveillance capitalism monitoring the most intimate aspects of our lives. Once we finally came out of the other side of Covid, even without a vaccine, we would still have google and apple and microsoft and facebook monitoring our every choice and monetizing it. Maybe there'd be a billion fewer people (and maybe that's not so bad) but we'd still have all the ills that these closed systems have brought on us.
