  The vaccine isn't permanent, as we've very quickly discovered. Death is. How would you have done things differently to avoid racism, wars, poverty, and mental health crises? Do you think the suicide rate would have been half as high if twice as many people died from the virus? These are not easy questions to answer. I certainly don't know, and I don't expect you to. It's very easy to act like you know better in hindsight. The only non "groupthink" way to approach this pandemic would have been to do nothing. There's not a datapoint on the planet that supports doing nothing. Everything else requires some societal "groupthink" effort.

    Well for starters rather than force mandate/isolate everyone... people could have been given the option to isolate if they wanted to. Instead we had governors closing down beaches and hiking trails while getting caught fine dining in large groups in Napa. We've also determined that obesity and other contributing factors regarding health have a significant impact on the effects of COVID-19. If anything, the hypocrites have made things worse at times by preventing access to activities that would improve health and rewarding people getting vaccinated from an old variant with free beer, donuts and fast food.
