With COVID 19, the real issue has always been not overloading our health care system. It's not an especially deadly disease. But it is quite virulent and we have no natural immunity to it. So its spread and it's ability to force people into hospital beds is it's worst feature, especially at the start of it all, when no one had immunity.
That being said, yes. Vaccinated people still can get Covid. But they're(we're) very unlikely to need hospitalization due to COVID.
I'm new here and 100% did not read all of this thread, but if you're pulling a false equivalency card and then comparing COVID to the Spanish Flu or the Black Plague, well, you're not too far off. People also ignored the start of the Spanish Flu because of Fog of WWI, and the Black Plague was also probably also blamed on unrelated things.
So yeah, COVID is similar to those in that a lot of people didn't want to critically think about those things. Look no further than calling it the "Spanish Flu". Why do we know it as that? Because Spain was neutral in WWI, and none of the countries at war wanted to let slip that a shitload of their men were getting sick. So there was a moratorium on talking about that, then the neutral Spanish reported on their people getting sick, and then it was the Spanish Flu. That's the Fog of WWI thing I mentioned in the prior paragraph.
So we are back to that again. We flattened the damn curve, broke the bitch, and said fuck you.
Yeah…not sure where the linguistic history lesson plays but cool.
Apples to apples- disease to disease
aplles to oranges- disease to war
