  1. Some “vaccine.” it doesn’t stop you from getting infected and doesn’t stop you from spreading the virus. There’s an obvious solution: let’s redefine what a vaccine does. And “problem” solved. If you survive the shot. Enter Year 2 and the odd increased excess mortality across age groups. “Why are they dying” is already the question raised in countries like the UK and Germany?
