That’s not at all how they were originally billed. “Take the vaxx and get your old life back”
The message was more like "vaccines will help". Prove me wrong.
And they have helped. Currently the new covid cases and those in hospital beds and ICUs are mostly unvaccinated people, despite the fact that they only represent about a third of the population in Ontario.
"We may never get back to what life was like before the coronavirus,"
"we need 70% to 85% of Americans vaccinated" The US has about 50%, Ontario about 65%
With that degree of vaccination - the one we haven't reached yet - it talks about "approaching a degree of normality", not getting your old life back.
That interview with Fauci was published in January, before the wide spread of the variants of concern. If you're expecting atomically accurate predictions in the early stages of a global fight against a new virus you're gonna have a bad time.
That was conditional on getting enough people vaccinated, and I don't know how much consideration was given to variants back then. That was then, this is now, and we don't have enough people vaccinated yet.
Nobody back then had - and nobody now has - a fully functioning crystal ball. The ride is not over. The best chance for a happy outcome individually is to get vaccinated, but it isn't a gold-plated guarantee that anyone will be immune from harm.

So how does sitting next to an unvaccinated person harm the vaccinated person?
