    Right, it was only a 2 week lockdown, just like they said! And the vaccine took care of covid once and for all!

      Experts: “If absolutely everybody stops coughing on each other for like two weeks then this can still be another non-event like H1N1.”

      Morons who didn’t mask or quarantine or do anything different whatsoever: “TWOOO WEEEEEEKS!”

      So you don’t believe in the flu? Since we’ve had a vaccine for it for decades and yet it’s still a thing.

        It’s crazy how if we had all managed to stay away from each other for roughly a month, we might have eradicated the flu and possibly the common cold as well.

          I mean if you also separated all the other animals that can get the flu from each other, including most mamals and birds, then sure, you might be able to get rid of the flu that way, but good luck actually doing that.

          Now please shut up and let the adults talk, okay?

      COVID mortality basically dropped to a rarity with the vaccine. You can also check public data and see the population of non vaccinated against vaccinated. There is plenty of data to show the vaccines are working. Don’t trust the talking heads, check for yourself!
