Well what is the effect and purpose of the vax other than to make people lax about social distancing and masks. The vaccine was correctly developed expressly for the purposes of rendering both unnecessary.
If the vax had worked to sterilize or mostly sterilize the virus as originally it was sold to us as, then this would be okay.
Instead it did not really work, thus spreading covid more.
So in the end, we locked down and destroyed the economy in hopes of a vaccine, but the vaz didn't fully work and now we're going to have to open anyway to avert major economic and social disaster.
