What has never made a dent scientifically? The lockdowns during the pandemic? I mean that’s demonstrably false … fewer people got the virus without without the protection of a vaccine because of them. And some places managed to eradicate the virus with them, which saddens me because if we’d managed to limit infections and the amount of mutations and variants until vaccines came through, we could be in a different world now. Like, COVID could be extinct and no one talks about it.
I‘m actually not even sure where I heard this. Good that you mention it now. I‘ll be on the lookout. This is why it’s important to talk about stuff every now and then.
