I recently viewed a video where a world renowned doctor's educated guess put 90% of those vaccinated against COVID dying in 1-2 years, perhaps three. At present that's about 1 in every 3 people alive today on this planet dropping over dead in the very near future. Now, for the sake of this thread I don't really care which side of the vaccine wars you stand—that is not it's intended purpose. Nor do I care to hear about how stupid you think the topic might be. What I do want to discuss is how you personally feel about living in a ghost town of a world (if you remain unvaccinated), and what you'd spend your final months or years alive doing (for those already vaccinated). Also, should as much as half the world's population or more die in the coming few years what would you do with so much more space to roam, provided you don't succumb and get the jab or have received it already.
Fair's fair so I'll go first.
My wife and will never get the COVID jab in any form. Thus, that puts us among the surviving and greatly reduced population post the great vaccine die off. So how would I feel living in a ghost town of a near empty planet earth? While the place would likely feel quite morbid even perpetually funerary, I imagine the fishing and hunting would get much better, as would competition for just about everything be drastically reduced. Honestly, that doesn't sound too bad, not really.
What would we do with so much more empty (human free) space to roam? Claim vast tracts of land perhaps. Build castles and other fortifications . . . seems the possibilities could be endless. Perhaps we'd establish a new silk road for trade or a neo Oregon Trail for settlers headed to new frontiers.
