  AstraZeneca is a the largest company in the uk by market cap. That's just one example, my point is that there is plenty of money in vaccines and our taxes are paying for them with no oversight on whether people actually need them or not. Sure, if you're vulnerable or if you don't want to get the flu, get the vaccine. For everyone else, that's just a waste of money. I also consider covid mortality to be pretty low, I'd rather spend these resources to fight cardiovascular diseases or build self-driving cars to lower mortality there. Vaccines are also dropping in efficiency pretty quickly as the virus mutates (as we've seen in Israel); if we'll need a new vaccine every 6 months, it's going go to be a beautiful business. Also, we don't call them conspiracy theories anymore, after the "covid is not from wuhan" debacle - they're now called spoiler alert.

    Vaccine efficacy isn't dropping because of mutations, but because the body forgets.
