Complacency could well end up being as big of a cause of mortality than the de-pop shot (at least the initial series).  Once they released the SARS-cov-2 in Wuhan (or more likely half a year earlier in North America) there was no turning back.  I suspect that we'll see a 'real one' before this thing is all over, but I do kind of doubt that will be, or will be passed off as being, a coronavirus based pathogen.

I'm 're-setting the clock' for every new thing which turns up (but again, not so much the 'scarient' psy-ops like 'omnicon' (anagram for 'moronic')) and will take it seriously until it is proven otherwise.  With SARS-cov-2 that relatively strong evidence (of nothingburger/fraud) came out scientifically before even the first 'two weeks to flatten the curve'.  I gave the authorities in my locale the benefit of the doubt for that initial lock-down strictly on the basis that they are ignorant buffoons with very little understanding of science and medicine and almost no on in-country qualified to even consult on the subjects.  After that, no.  They are co-conspirators plain and simple.
