I was thinking today about the liberal li(n)e that Covid is absolutely fated to become mega-virulent and that they somehow believe itโs like the bubonic plague, for which herd immunity was never developed*. SARS2 is absolutely nothing like bubonic plague, of course, and there are nearly no lessons to be learned from that. The below is far more likely (~99%+):
Zero Covid was a very harmful fantasy that is preventing the above. People are starting to abandon that now, luckily, and seeing the inevitable shape of future history.
*This is not exactly true, but herd immunity waned over time, which is why there were various waves, etc., separated by dozens to hundreds of years. Anyway, SARS2 is nothing like Yersinia pestis so itโs kind of like comparing a toad with a dolphin.
