Swing and a miss.The hope has been to slow down the spread until the most vulnerable are able to be vaccinated.
Fortunately in some countries a vaccine is available:
First doses of China's CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine arrive in Brazil
The first 120,000 doses of CoronaVac, a COVID-19 vaccine developed by China's Sinovac Biotech <SVA.O> that is being tested in Brazil, arrived at São Paulo's international airport on Thursday morning, the state government said.www.reuters.com
Vaccine are good, but still also kill some amount of people.
And a vaccine is still too late for the 230,000 who have already died in the US, so locks downs and vaccines can't be the strategy we use in the future.
Instead we should have done something quicker.
Either a full quaranting with contract tracing, or accelerated herd immunity.
You moron are a death cult
You are ignorant.
All existing epidemics has always been ended by herd immunity, and Fauci estimated wrong when he claimed covid-19 would kill 4 million.
The reasons for his mistake was that he did not know that 90% of those infected were asymptomatic, so therefore were not getting tested or recorded. He also did not realize most of the deaths are from those over 70, and that those under 30 are 40 times less likely to die. Instead of his estimate of 70% needing to recover, it is more like 7%, because most people turned out to be inherently immune already.
All?
What about Polio?
The last polio epidemic started in 1948 and was essentially over by the time the Salk vaccine came out in 1957.
And besides, vaccines also depend upon herd immunity because not everyone can be vaccinated.
