COVID mutates like the flu, meaning a vaccine was never meant to eradicate it. It simply can’t. COVID vaccines still help to prevent severe illness, but it was never a permanent cure. People were morons, but even if we all did what we were told to do, COVID would still exist.

I said a chance. Not that it was a big one.
