We are both predictably on the opposite side of progress. Who do you think history will side with?Quote:

The one thing to keep an eye on is the spread of variant strains. We probably want some data on that before going 100%.Quote:

If I am reading you right that is what I am afraid of. Will the coronavirus change from year to year like the common flu. Then we will be getting shots every year and with a possible mandate to get them or restrictions place on those who don't get the shot. A vaccination card will be required to go about doing your daily routine.Quote:

However, if we can reach herd immunity and quash this thing for the most part, I don't see why there would be any more mandates or restrictions in place for this than there is for the flu.
The more cases there are worldwide, the more likely that variants will emerge.
Pfft...who cares if there are variants. It's not like people ***** and moan about how the flu vaccine doesn't help them because they get one of the other variants of the flu that were predicted to be less likely. NOBODY does that!Quote:

Fear, probably justify or I took a stray incident and blew it out of portion. Europe will accept those who are vaccinated to visit their country this fall. We will see how many people opt out of getting the vaccination preventing herd immunity. I heard of a sports arena that will ask for them for special seating.Quote:

I am basically shut-in taking care of an elderly mother with dementia so it isn't like I am out about to affect people. Never got into the habit of taking flu shots annually and probably won't with this virus if it start becoming a yearly ritual.
Is there something or some things you are unable to do that particularly upset you? What are those things?Quote:

The CEO of Pfizer certainly thinks so as far as yearly shots. According to the CDC we are still missing a LOT of data on both the virus and the available vaccines.Quote:

On a side note, I know how incredibly bad it sucks taking care of someone with dementia. You have my sympathy, and live for the good days as much as you can.
