The virus is endemic now, the pandemic is over. Get vaccinated if you wish, most people already have natural immunity.

why aren't we locking everyone in a 2m cage with food delivered by drone to stop the pandemic faster

People who've had the disease have no reason to get vaccinated, denying that is simply denying data&science. In any case, the pandemic won't end when everyone's vaccinated, but instead when everyone stops being afraid of it; the virus cannot be stopped (at least not with the current version of the vaccines) so the only change possible is the society's reaction to it.

Anti-science is religion which is blindly following a myth. Are you blinding following the myth that covid will go away if everyone gets a shot? Anyone who doesn't have one is holding this up?

  Not the person you're replying to, but if everyone gets a shot then the restrictions can go away. There a lot of articles[1] that say vaccinated can get Covid, but the chances of a bad sickness or death is much much lower. If everyone is vaccinated then Covid will really just be a flu. For example Portugal with 98% vaccination rate and no idiots screaming "oppression!" has dropped mask mandates. Sometimes I do wish the governments would just drop restrictions and let the unvaccinated deal with it, but luckily for them, governments still have a duty to care even for the belligerent, even providing them with hospital care when they get the virus. [1] which the antivaxxer can just dismiss as propaganda or fake news!

    Go ask Israel. They are on their third required booster shot. Are you so naive that you think the government will give up this power after it has successfully forced the masses to inject a vaccine with no long terms studies?

      You're going to need to provide a source for this.

        The claim: > They are on their third required booster shot. The source you provided: > To be considered fully vaccinated in Israel people must meet one of the following criteria: be 12 or older and have received a booster shot at least a week ago; be within six months of having received a second vaccination shot; or be within six months of having tested positive for Covid-19. You are not a serious person.

      Ooh (Halloween ghost noises), scary government(s), competent operators of worldwide conspiracies... In my view you and the other conspiracy-minded are the ones who think/act like children and that the world is an Avengers movie with a baddie that has a complicated scheme to rule the world. Why would government/the global elite need to use a virus or a vaccine to control us, they already do so by indoctrinating us since first grade to be devoted to money. Yeah yeah, I've read the arguments, "mask mandate/forced lockdowns/quarantines -> injection with 'scary unknown substance' mandate -> ... -> gas chambers". But why, what good would it be to kill us all? If they really want to poison us all, why do they need a "subplot" of introducing some fancy mRNA vaccine, and needing a to include a character who's been working on mRNA for 30 years? Why not just introduce some medication that doesn't work and tout it as the cure. Oh wait, do hydroblahblahquine or Ivermectin work..? "15 days to slow the spread", I googled it, that was March 2020, before scientists knew the virus and before Delta. Also, this pandemic has now been in 2 administrations. So, was Trump in on it and Biden is continuing it? Or is it the secret elite cabal working above them? Trump for one doesn't bear the thought of losing the presidency, and the pandemic killed his reelection chances, why isn't he raving about this secret plan to control/kill the world? Probably even he thinks that theory is too nutjobsy.
