The percentage of people that believe receiving a COVID-19 vaccine will permanently eliminates their risk is rather mind blowing. The Biden administration will regret not being more transparent about the likely scenarios that will unfold this year and next.

Dr Fauci is right. The pandemic phase is over. The Gov't failed to contain the virus. It's now endemic. Everyone without a mask will get 1-3 infections every year. This will redefine every part of healthcare. Instead of being excited about it - we should be frightened.

Don’t infect yourself. SARS is a pathogen that will attack every organ and slowly kill you. If you do get infected - it’s best to be vaccinated so you don’t die. That should have been the simple message in 20/21. That type of messaging would have changed the course of history.
