> What makes you think the vaccine is an extremely effective solution to lockdowns? There are now many examples of high-vaccination countries with the same rapid case count rises that were the excuse for lockdowns in the first place.
What are you talking about? Have you even looked at the data? Vaccines are overwhelmingly effective at reducing infection rate, hospitalizations and deaths. The latter two are down drastically among highly-vaccinated populations. And infections are only up because restrictions have been lifted.
Being able to achieve lockdown-era infection and death rates without a lockdown is pretty fucking spectacular.
> were not the heroic things you thought they were.
I don't think they're heroic. I'll stay home forever. As long as it takes. Was it worth it? Completely. You're clearly not aware of Canada's early vaccine shortage. Lockdowns worked perfectly until we were able to get most people vaccinated. Now we're just chasing the long tail.
