But are we in a "pandemic" still? How do you define pandemic? If you go by "a disease spreading out there", then surely colds and flus qualify every year, just nobody bothers to think much of it. I think we need some quantitative benchmark, like: - if emergency measures are ever taken, any ban on vaccines is lifted -once vaccines are no longer banned, to qualify for increased measures the disease must be expected to have 5x worse case fatality rate than the flu in vaccinated people. So in the US we have 3 groups: - vaccinated people where the disease risk is very low (lower than flu) - children who are banned from taking the vaccine - unvaccinated people whose deaths should be labeled suicide. Their deaths are tragic, but it's basically more akin to suicide than anything else. I mean if I just don't eat, I don't really die of starvation, I die by suicide. So it's fine, let them do what they want, but don't make everyone suffer for it.
