Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: COVID-19 isn't going away.

[quote name="blackwater"]Even if every single person in the US got the vaccine, COVID-19 would live on. The virus <a href=https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/cats-and-dogs-top-list-of-covid-19-infected-animals-in-u-s/2625085/>infects wild animals</a> like stray cats, dogs, etc. Not to mention, there are plenty of countries where people are too poor to get the vaccine, even if they wanted to. Not to mention the vaccine doesn't confer 100% protection (no vaccine does). There's a reason why "a cure for the common cold" is a perennial science fiction McGuffin, like a faster-than-light travel device or a time machine. The common cold is just too contagious and it mutates frequently. COVID-19 is even more contagious than the common cold (higher R factor). The hysteria will last as long as people want it to last, and then we'll go back to normal. And every year, a few extra 80 year olds and morbidly obese and/or immunocompromised people will die, that's all. The guys who <a href=https://nypost.com/2021/07/25/anthony-fauci-defends-us-funding-research-at-wuhan-lab/>funded the creation of the virus</a> will die eventually, probably of old age. Just like the other idiots in Washington who funded 20 years of war in Afghanistan. Have a nice day, and don't forget to go outside.[/quote]
