Watching the grandkids, I said to my wife These kids will have deal with variants after we're dead.

Long after we’re gone I’m 55 grandma is 53. Because of ignorance in people it’s unleashed , I hope we can drive Covid into a yearly flu shot.

Natural selection will select the variants that can spread to more people successfully.

measles/rubella, influenza, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis and probably more during my school days. Nowadays there are vaccines for HPV/Human PapillomaVirus. And as an old guy I get the influenza vax every year and sometimes the one for pneumonia and gout too. I was so happy to get the covid vax this year because vaccines work and one more is no big compared to dying because we decided we didn't need it. Be healthy, get your vax right here! ALL of them. Don't worry about your grandkids,
they're not fools like some others are.
