I thought we could have cut the entire thing short by vaccinating everyone who wanted it, and letting them quarantine, while at the same time encouraging everyone who didn't want to be vaccinated to socialize as much as possible (while watching hospital capacities carefully.) There was this strange determination at the time, from every media and government outlet, not to accept that having had covid was as (or more) effective than taking the vaccine. And also not to accept that mass lockdowns were destructive. My grandfather was a victim of the lockdowns (as one of the many with vascular dementia who were kept going by being stimulated by family.) After 93 years of raising a family, he got to die alone, confused and isolated. edit: it's all of the authoritative disinformation during covid that's threatening cervical cancer vaccination. It brought the thoroughly discredited anti-vaxxers of yore back into the (numerical) mainstream, and respected as heroes (JFK, Jr. for one example.) Wakefield's paper is just as stupid as it ever was, but now you will never convince the majority of Americans that vaccines don't cause autism. The Lancet is trash.
