heres how I know; vietnam & australia didn't need the vaccine to do it, so whatever it is that caused the US to not be able to deal with the pandemic without the vaccine is also gonna make the US be unable to deal with the pandemic with the vaccine.
The lack of the vaccine isn't the problem, corruption is. It isn't a tech problem, it's a governance problem. The US is gonna have COVID for ever.
PS, the exact same thing applies for climate change. Ppl be like "oh climate change will be fixed once we invent the right tech". The thing is, we already have the tech to end climate change, we're just ruled by ppl who don't want to. We're fucked, and we're fucked forever, stop waiting for the ghost of albert einstein to solve your problems for you with a glass vial & recognize that anyone who tells you to is the enemy
I think the real problem post vaccine is gonna be the massive economic downturn coming in 2021 Q1, and the ruling class that will do absolutely fucking nothing.
We're already at that stage. The vaccine won't bring any jobs back or magically fix all of the damage.
We're pretty much headed straight to a new great depression. The government wants to push austerity instead of doing anything else that could help.
I mean you see the early signs, consumer spending is significantly down in retail during the holidays what has basically become a make or break period for all retailers. Next year it’ll be even worse as more and more bills come due and more protections start to expire. Sean from antifada also shared an article about corporations dishing corporate offices now that working from home has proven successful. We are gonna have a demand crisis and a real state crisis in the corporate sector. This is all coming due next year.
