    Never said people can’t catch covid. Of course they do, but they’re not dying like the pandemic. It’s down to the flu. Time to move on.

      Huh, seems I’ve heard this song before. People were saying “it’s the flu” since day one.

      If you don’t have anything useful to offer here, I suggest you refrain…

        Or, “it’s ok, it’s endemic now”, or, “it’s ok, it’s just seasonal”. Nothing was learned from 2020 onward.

          If anything, there’s been a severe regression by some of the population. It’s a real face palm. I mean, I still see anti-Fauci stickers on cars.

          I mean…on the one hand, I tune in a lot to futurist/transhumanist types of things and get inspired by one segment of humanity, but then daily I’m immersed in things that just make me wonder what the hell the human species is even up to…

        You keep misrepresenting what I’m saying. When I said it’s down to the flu I meant since the vaccines became available.

          Ever since vaccines became available, covid is like the flu, and the flu is only the flu because it also has a vaccine available, so don’t bother getting the covid vaccine which has been instrumental in getting covid under control? Is that your position? Let covid go back to doing what it did to populations before vaccines by not getting the vaccines?

      Which is still the dumbest fucking thing in the world because it’s objectively wrong and everyone in this conversation is aware of it.
