It's not the flu.

True. The general public seems to be lacking in an understand of how science works. That helps to feed the flow of misinformation.
Remember how Nibiru was going to come get us all? The willingness to accept nonsense like that seems to be on the rise.

The roller coaster seen over the past year will continue. But the vaccination count does vary by state. Mine continues to increase at a pretty steady rate.

Or maybe it'll come back every year, just like the flu.
Maybe. But the past year seems to indicate that it isn't really seasonal, like the flu. Didn't slow down much last summer, did it?

The good thing is that, as with flu vaccines, the variants can be accounted for much more readily than coming up with a whole new vaccine. Apparently this is true more so with the mRNA technology.

Sure.
Is it OK for them to have an opinion too?
It's also OK for people to think the world is flat. But it doesn't bode well for our future.

If they're shooting for herd immunity levels, it's never going to happen. I imagine a very interesting next couple of years.
But I've read it didn't have much effect on Americas annual death rate.
Well since they aren't letting anyone go back to normal life after getting it, what's the point?
