Back in early 2020 as the headlines and panic began to spread I came up with a perspective that still seems to be true today.
We have too much faith in science and not enough respect for nature.
If you were reading books in the 1980s (e.g. The Hot Zone) you would have known something like this would happen eventually, one way or another and will happen again.
The notion that we can snap our fingers and scientists will come up with a silver bullet vaccine on-demand is pretty laughable.
It’s pretty impressive we got anything as fast as we did. Trusting that any one shot in the arm is going to provide ‘sterilizing immunity’ is a fools errand.
