Coronavirus. Your thoughts? [Serious and Non-Serious]

Looks like it's one of those depends-on-who-you-ask scenarios. Though a lot of new sources are reporting it's only 50% effective. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-55642648 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00094-z

If people get vaccinated, it can certainly help with that. But, then again, when it was made mandatory that you had to wear a seatbelt in your car, people complained too. Gotta watch out for those injectable nano microchips, I suppose. I get it, though. These vaccines were rushed, but they still seem to have a pretty good reduction rate with very little risk of any bad side effects (ALL vaccines have side effects, can't make them or the human immune system perfect.). Of course, they'll have to be changed again, since there are a few newer mutations. Saying it less than a percent to die from covid is stupid when we were having two thousand people a day die from it. Some people are just in their own bubble where if it's not directly effecting them, there surely can't be any true reason for concern. I guess masks are a stupid idea, too. Getting my shot tomorrow, not the two stage one.

I was intuitive of this pandemic in the mid-90s right when the Internet, AOL and Windows 95' began in popularity. Back then, I was doing the same things in special ed class as many people in this pandemic are, but I was laughed at by people while my father called it silly and immature. I'm even introverted, OCDish, manually breath less, have social difficulties (even though I've improved lately) and prefer pharmaceutical-free healthy lifestyle. Masks are comfortable and enjoyable to me, while I carry hand sanitizer and hot sauce with me wherever I go.
