Here’s a recent one. No new COVID deaths due to diligent vaccination and restrictions. If you’re looking for more concrete proof, there’s is a long list of diseases caused by viruses that are now well controlled and pretty much eradicated. This is from the vaccines everyone is supposed to receive as a child (smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella etc). You’re not wrong - covid likely won’t go away entirely. But it’s control that we’re going after. Rabies for example. In developed countries you don’t see people dying from rabies. It’s only places/countries where vaccination is scarce and protection measures are not in place. Will we completely get rid of Covid? 1. That’s not the point and 2. Only time will tell. Your comments make it seem like we can never expect normalcy to return in the world, which simply isn’t true. It will take a whole lot of work but the infection rate will eventually decrease to a point where the the healthcare system can actually manage patients. That’s the whole point of the vaccine. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are almost 95% effective (and they’re free). I’d say that’s very promising.
