It may just be that all of these lockdowns and restrictions (including travel restrictions) have just made it take longer to reach this inevitable point. Once over-50s had all been given the chance to be vaccinated (whether they took it or not), we should have just let it rip. But fucking morons have been convinced that even their damn kids are at risk so here we are still with bullshit masks and (in some places) social distancing and pre-flight tests, etc.

I am not a COVID-is-just-the-flu type at all, but the number of people I know who are totally freaked out and paranoid that their (single or double-vaccinated and perfectly healthy) kids are going to get COVID and die just boggles my mind.
Statistically speaking, the drive in a car to the vaccination centre is way more likely to kill your kid than either the vaccine or COVID itself.
(I am also pro-vaccine BTW.)
