Especially since your reply contains benefits of the vaccine
…but I digress…
Saying the vaccine, which was developed in a year
To combat the initial novel virus
Does not provide meaningful protection against the 5th variant of the initial virus
Is ridiculous
Continuing advocate for anti-mandate measures will only compound the issue
Once a more effective vaccine is developed

We briefly discussed the idea in another post
Mandates were removed in March
Hello summer 2022 surge!

I believe each surge has been attributed to a new variant
So the vaccine has obviously been effective at eradicating the initial covid strain

You also ignored the small pox vaccine/monkey pox outbreak correlary

Continuing to advocate for the removal of mandates
Has the potential to set us back to step 1
= lockdown.

Given that the measures being prescribed are the only weapons to combat the pandemic currently
I thinks your stance, and the NBA’s, are very dangerous

The people who are buying in to anti-vaxx logic
Aren’t going to be convinced when the perfect vaccine (by your criteria) exists.
