@ToneyCrimson That's the issue. You can have it, and you still spread it. You just have 4-6 months of reliable protection against symptoms.

What evolutionary advantage would a new variant have if it kills all the hosts? The more violently ill you get, the sooner you are put in isolation. The less serious the symptoms are, the more people you spread to.

@ToneyCrimson But it doesn't. That's not a logical conclusion because that's not what the data shows. Many countries beat last year's record of cases even though more than half the population was vaccinated. If you want to draw logical conclusions, base them on actual logic. Rather than dogma. It is true. Why do you think boosters are being introduced? We've had the stuff for over 6 months. It hasn't been eradicated. We haven't done it before. We can't do it. It has animal reservoirs which means it can come back at any time even if it runs out of human hosts.
