In reply to Detruth.

a very ignorant comment, just stfu. you want covid to be around until 2030? do you know the adverse effects covid has had, and the mortalities that have resulted from covid? and someone is worried about a bloody minor adverse effect ( they probably might not even get). If we are to consider the natural progression of covid ( ie the natural course the disease will take without any interventions) it implies we are waiting for herd immunity to be achieved. that is about 75% of the world population should develop natural immunity to covid. now considering the fact that there is so much mutations with the virus, natural immunity will be hard to achieve, and the implication being that herd immunity will take almost an entire decade. the theory of vaccines has been in place for many viruses influenza, rubella, hepatitis etc, so what is so hard to grasp about the covid vaccine ? vaccination will accelerate the process of achieving herd immunity.
