what is it then? pro-prolonging-the-pandemic

i think if someone finds themself on Team Keep the Pandemic Going, they should reconsider what brought them there.

Anti-science is religion which is blindly following a myth.

Are you blinding following the myth that covid will go away if everyone gets a shot? Anyone who doesn't have one is holding this up?

Not the person you're replying to, but if everyone gets a shot then the restrictions can go away. There a lot of articles[1] that say vaccinated can get Covid, but the chances of a bad sickness or death is much much lower. If everyone is vaccinated then Covid will really just be a flu.

For example Portugal with 98% vaccination rate and no idiots screaming "oppression!" has dropped mask mandates.

Sometimes I do wish the governments would just drop restrictions and let the unvaccinated deal with it, but luckily for them, governments still have a duty to care even for the belligerent, even providing them with hospital care when they get the virus.

[1] which the antivaxxer can just dismiss as propaganda or fake news!

People who've had the disease have no reason to get vaccinated, denying that is simply denying data&science.

In any case, the pandemic won't end when everyone's vaccinated, but instead when everyone stops being afraid of it; the virus cannot be stopped (at least not with the current version of the vaccines) so the only change possible is the society's reaction to it.

why aren't we locking everyone in a 2m cage with food delivered by drone to stop the pandemic faster

The virus is endemic now, the pandemic is over.

Get vaccinated if you wish, most people already have natural immunity.
