I think we all fell for it. The narrative around the vaccine changed several times. First it was supposed to be the golden bullet to dramatically destroy COVID. But new variants, plus the fact that it actually didn't really prevent transmission made it ineffective. But it turns out it did reduce the severity of symptoms. The problem is that most younger people never had bad symptoms to begin with. Then it started to get ridiculous with "booster shots". And throught health professionals continued to repeat the mantra, that the vaccine is the only way to stop COVID, even when it became increasingly clear that it couldn't. In the end the virus just petered out on its own. The costs of the virus were largely unnecessary and wasteful. It turns out the anti vaxxers were right for the wrong reasons.
