| numberwang said: Covid-19, a history of failures. 14 days to flatten the curve -> fail People made these great graphics of how it will work but computer models don't describe reality. Zero-Covid -> fail Today people pretend they didn't fall for this scam but they were fighting online for it as if it was the second coming - "just stay at home and the virus will be gone globally". Sure thing that works with a common cold virus. Anybody still believing in this? Lockdowns -> fail The bigger brother of both failed scams above, achieved nothing except the greatest robbery of the middle class in this century. Locking away non-risks groups and mandatory dust masks must have been an intentional clown world. People called it "science". Vaccines -> fail (you are here now) Just vaxx the risk groups, everyone over 55, just about everyone and Covid will be gone. Fail, the vaccines are leaky and do not protect at all against infections and spreading. In fact, they seem to accelerate summer-active variations (Delta) as we can see in many countries with novel summer waves in 2021. The whole idea of "liberty through vaccination" and vaccine passports was build on the failed idea of a sterile vaccine. Fauci tries to rebrand the typical seasonal winter to summer decline as a vaccine success but winter numbers will go up again. It will be just like the endemic flu with new variations every year. There have been so many billion doses of flu vaccines in the last decades and more people die from the flu than ever before (globally). Same story with Covid-vaccines. Trudeau just ordered perpetual gen therapy for the next years to come, 60 million doses from Pfizer alone in 2024. He knows, numbers will go up in winter again and the old juice won't work anymore, probably never did. Natural immunity -> win The age old tested way of overcoming diseases. There was a study from Israel that former "covid-cases" had a much lower risk of being hospitalized compared to vaccinated people. Antibodies from 2019 don't work as well as the full width of the human immune system. Natural T-cells are more flexible against mutations and last for years. Natural immunity for non-risk groups (under 65) is the way to go. Some countries like Sweden and most third world countries (with zero lockdowns) should be very close. |
True, computer models don't take the stupidity level of the majority into account. Even a small minority can screw it up for everyone, see Australia. NZ however did achieve all those goals.
Going for natural immunity without measures would have killed tens of millions and done far more damage to the economy, likely resulted in chaos and civil unrest when the killer wave reached its peak with half the county home sick and bodies piling up everywhere.
Anyway, all you're saying is humans are hopeless and deserve all this crap. It all comes down to, it doesn't apply to me, I can do what I want, don't inconvenience my life.
Btw Sweden had plenty restrictions, most voluntary but also mandatory. It's a myth Sweden had no 'lockdowns'
