>>12536951It's the best mentality to have early on- new fast spreading pandemic early on with zero knowledge on affects/death rates. Any other response reeks of idiocy.
Once we got a handle on it, however, we should have eased up to a different strategy of isolating the vulnerable for the most part.
That said, I think its hilarious that people are worried about long-term effects of the vaccine, which we easily have extensive knowledge on...but not the coronavirus? Long-term effects of coronavirus is a lot spookier to me than a vaccine which just uses mRNA instead of the final virus protein particles (and the mRNA is just translated into the virus protein particles, so the mechanism of action is the same as any other protein vaccine).
Loss of sensory nerves (smell, taste) is permanent in a decent number of covid victims. The thought is that inflammation leads to death of these olfactory neurons, but in the event that its actually a direct action of the virus itself entering the neurons- those lead straight into your fucking brain and is how the brain-eating amoebas kill you.
I'll take a benign vaccine any day of the week over covid.
