Excellent introspective analysis. We know that pandemics happen without intentional meddling by bioweapon researchers, and that they are very likely to appear with increasing frequency as the climate changes. If we're lucky, the melting permafrost won't release something novel from 100 million years ago that's extremely lethal. Fortunate…
Excellent introspective analysis. We know that pandemics happen without intentional meddling by bioweapon researchers, and that they are very likely to appear with increasing frequency as the climate changes. If we're lucky, the melting permafrost won't release something novel from 100 million years ago that's extremely lethal. Fortunately, we have many tools today to counter public health emergencies, and like any medical treatment they all carry some risk. When considering the risk/benefit ratio, I think all of the vaccines, including mRNAs, are acceptable. Boosters are also reasonable. We already have flu and other boosters every year. Does this mean the whole thing is a nefarious plan by big pharma because those in control are rapaciously greedy? I doubt it. I think it is far more likely that when it comes to new challenges most of the time we're running blind, and when you do that occasionally you run into walls or over cliffs.
