Well, it least it’s not a golden CALF. That would be Bad.

Maybe what’s going to happen is:

certain parts of the world get access to a vaccine;

those parts of the world lose interest in covid (we see a strong tendency already, right?);

covid remains endemic to certain other parts of the world the first parts don’t care about;

we see new variants every few years that require new vaccines (as tweaks of old ones);

we get new shots, like the yearly flu shot;

covid becomes a chronic background thing, like tuberculosis or hepatitis C or MRSA;

life goes on, with yet another microbe trying to kill us and vaccines protecting us;

anti-vaxxers continue to be unable to grasp that 1 in 10,000 means hundreds of thousands and millions die unnecessarily because they don’t personally know someone who was affected.

Hmm, maybe I should put some paragraph breaks in here.

Maybe they felt burned by Aung San Suu Kyi?

I guess things are never as simple as we’d like, eh?

It’s just… like… a bad case of the flu. Young people aren’t really dying from it.

It's been six months since I got sick with #COVID19 and I am now regularly using an inhaler because it left me with reactive airway disease (basically, asthma), which is triggered by the cold so I can't really be outside much these days, so I'm even more isolated.
