Just normal viral evolution, Spanish Flu linage is still around today only in very mild form.. Deadly viruses die with the host, others get weaker in time.
Some do. Some mutate and become problematic. The issue is here that Covid was obviously a serious threat and had to be dealt with. It is still an issue and still needs to be dealt with but is clearly not the major threat that it used to be.
Agree with it or not but it is obvious that without locking down and then the provision of the vaccine, the death toll would have been much higher. You deal with serious transmissible threats by reducing the amount of transmissible situations - quarantine. If they had know that in the early and Middle Ages the plague would not have claimed so many lives.
The vaccines were not developed from scratch, they were tweaked from the SARS vaccines, and thank goodness as we would have had to take serious measures for much longer.
I was diagnosed with a heart condition 12 years ago and have been on medication ever since to help manage it. Like most rational people I was deeply concerned about the virus and also concerned about the vaccines and boosters. I spoke to my doctor who said that, as we know, no vaccine is 100% safe. They all come with a list of side effects as long as your arm. He also said that I was better off taking my chances with the vaccine than with Covid.
So we know that the pandemic was controlled relatively quickly, thanks to lockdown and the vaccines. We know that the vaccine hasn’t caused the mass deaths we were told from the sceptics it would. We know that they don’t contain micro chips. We know that they had have side effects and in some cases sadly, death.
Well all saw what was happening around the world at the height of the pandemic. I’m sure most of us have heard the testimonies of those working in dreadful conditions in the Covid wards. I can’t speak for everybody, but at the start of the outbreak, if given the option of a vaccine that may have some side effects and to a very small minority, possibly death, or a rampant plague that could kill and maim millions and run its course for a number of years, I wonder what the majority would vote for?
We can all google vaccines and find those that didn’t work well, but the vast majority of medicines do more good than harm and without them we would have lost many more loved ones. And yes, I am talking about the Covid vaccines here too.
