Perhaps, but it actually makes getting vaccinated that much more important. The more people that are vaccinated, the fewer variants that will develop. Better to come up with boosters for the current variants than to continue to allow more variants to be created.
Now is not the time to go back to business as usual.
Far-right president Jair Bolsonaro tells Brazilians to ‘stop whining’ as death toll surges
Babies dying from Covid in Brazil as ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ hits country
Médecins Sans Frontières says country has been plunged into ‘permanent state of mourning’
As some countries look towards an end to the coronavirus pandemic, Brazil is facing an ever-worsening crisis, with overwhelmed health systems and a soaring death toll leading to a significant number of babies dying from Covid-19.
The South American country’s seven-day rolling average for deaths reached more than 3,000 this month, as the medical NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned that a “humanitarian catastrophe” was unfolding due to government mismanagement of the pandemic.
Dr Christos Christou, MSF’s international president, said far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro’s government had all but refused to introduce “evidence-based comprehensive public health guidelines”.
“This has put Brazil into a permanent state of mourning and led to the near collapse of Brazil’s health system,” Dr Christou said.
He added that the country’s response needed an “urgent, science-based and well-coordinated reset to prevent further avoidable deaths”.

Hang on, variants. We still have the goods to take you out.

Vaccines are still effective against most (if not all?) known variants.

Fewer people developed blood clots from the J&J vaccine than were shot and killed at Fedex.
Perhaps guns should be paused like the vaccine was.
