minus-squarethemurphy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 days agoPolio can’t be compared to COVID when you talk about vaccines. COVID mutates like the flu, meaning a vaccine was never meant to eradicate it. It simply can’t. COVID vaccines still help to prevent severe illness, but it was never a permanent cure. People were morons, but even if we all did what we were told to do, COVID would still exist.
