When the evolution of the virus isn't stopped by the those that can't get vaccinated and the idiots that refuse to be vaccinated it will find a way to make the vaccination worthless. Of course the drug companies will come up with a vaccine for the new South African virus, but if we don't all get it, the cycle will repeat and repeat. Buy the drug company stock.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

I'm not in the "we're doomed" camp, but the math and evolution are relentless. The pandemic isn't over and we can't stop fighting it even if we're tired and don't like masks. The virus doesn't care. Cheers, Scott.
