I think what's going to happen is that the world is going to be biting its nails as it opens up in the coming six months, then we'll head into the winter of 21-22, and that will be telling with regards to the effectiveness of the vaccines.

Or will it? If pandemics die out, on average, in 1-2 years, wouldn't this the die out anyway on that timeline?

And if it does die out naturally, but credit is given to the vaccines, then we'll be encouraged to get our yearly COVID shot. So in reality, given that we can't trust the science superstars any longer for straight, objective reporting, if it lets up this next year, we won't know if that was due to the vaccines or a natural life cycle.

But if it doesn't let up, then we're clearly fucked. And we'll still be encouraged, perhaps required, to get vaccinated even tough it didn't work the first time.

I have this sinking feeling that in the next 2-5 years, the world will be facing something far worse than COVID. We're looking at serious economic instability worldwide right now. Currencies are weakening, in some countries teetering, and in a few collapsing. When countries get desperate, they go to war, either against another country or their own citizens, or both. This whole COVID thing might be filed into the 'good old days' in hindsight.
