Ever hear of herd immunity? We have had some Ants members who are MDs who have posted on how this virus is something to take dire, and they were largely ignored here on this website. Probably by people who have no STEM field degrees.

The virus is benign for the vast majority. Reinfection, while I think technically possible, is extremely rare. We should have all the pre-covid luxuries back soon. It morphed from 15 days to slow the curve, to complete lockdown,
to now we can't live our life until a vaccine? Why do the goal posts keep moving?

Since day 1, the goal was always to create an effective vaccine so herd immunity could help protect those who heavily susceptible to this, that has never moved.

Vaccines are never 100% effective. While it's not the flu, it's very flu like. We have a flu vaccine yet millions get it each year without society stopping. There is no reason society can't be back to the old normal in 2021. If you (royal) don't want to partake in certain things that is fine but they shouldn't be removed from society completely until all sickness is eradicated from the earth.

Again, a large percentage of the time why vaccines don't work, is because some people can't respond to those antigens and create humoral/cellular-immediated immunity of their own. Vaccines are heavily scrutinized by the FDA to determine if that vaccine can do what the company who made it says it will do.
