Another article that’s not really true.

In other words, the vaccines weren’t enough. Humanity anxiously awaited development of the first COVID-19 vaccines throughout 2020; now that those vaccines aren’t enough to permanently halt COVID-19, it would appear that vaccine manufacturers are pivoting their strategy.

If there were no anti-vaxxers and the vaccination rate had been around 90%, the mRNA vaccines would’ve been enough. (No matter what some very bad models claim). Yes, even against the Delta variant.

Contrary to what you might’ve read, the vaccines — particularly the mRNA ones — do prevent infection in most cases and do limit spread both by reducing viral load and the length of infection. Don’t believe the (mostly) liberal lies about this. That said, with persistent exposure you will probably get infected.

It depends too on what you mean by “permanently halt.” There was never a model in my head that this could’ve or would’ve occurred. Covid was always going to go endemic; Zero Covid was a very harmful fantasy that only resulted in (and is still resulting in) torturing many people for little gain and which promotes permanent lockdown as well as perpetual prison countries.

If it is not obvious, I keep thinking of No Country for Old Men in reference to the Covid disaster. They feel the same, have the same sonority. Both a tale of slow-motion but preventable catastrophes, with poor decisions leading to an inevitable and predicted tragedy.

We didn’t have to be here, but we are. Now many feel the need to resort to deceit about it all.
