Even if 100% of people in the USA were behind and supporting it and got vaccinated as soon as they where eligible and it was available. It would not have stopped mutation, as the timeline to achieve full immunization in a large enough percentage of the population was too long and the effectiveness of the vaccine on even the current strains at the time of development was too low. Mutation was inevitable. Not to mention mutation from/in other countries.

but you do have the mechanism for self preservation. Numerous decisions you can make on a daily basis that are advantageous to having a healthy strong immune system that will drastically improve your ability to prevent and fight off disease and infection, you also have the choice to get the vaccine yourself which should aid in doing the same in preventing and diminishing covid risk for yourself. Those two combined provide more than enough protection to be well under “higher than acceptable risk levels” and don’t require any action from anyone besides yourself. |

It's ok. Any of the economic problems we are feeling now are NOT from COVID are are probably government related to the party for which you dislike and nothing else. Because governments are petty like that and corporations are greedy.

So, until we have data, it's a balance of skepticism vs hope. We're well past that now, of course, but until that moment came when a new variant popped up and took over, hope was not lost. And it sure would have been nice if it didn't mutate quickly and we did have a chance to reach a high enough percentage of protected people such that it becomes a non-issue. The mutation isn't what changed me from hopeful to disappointedly resigned though.

How were we supposed to know which vaccine and which booster to get?

Then I presume you never leave your house? As that risk must be too much for you too.

The point is that changing guidance might just be because new evidence and combinations of evidence show that there is a more optimal path, rather than some nefarious plot to screw you. Remember, the CDC and other agencies are just groups of people. They just happen to have training and tools that give them way better odds of getting it right than random internet people. |
