Now it is a bit too late to think about getting rid of it completely but the pandemic will not be over until people realize you can't lift restrictions until it is really over and that everybody needs to get vaccinated.
Unfortunately, viruses are not politically motivated and are not swayed by fake news.
Rather than bitchin at liberals or conservatives, better read up on what people who really know something about viruses say.
> overselling vaccines
Oh my... it is not overselling. It is dealing with people like children they are. People reverted to the point where you can't have merit-based discussion about vaccines in public, and so simplifying the message is IMO the right strategy.
The point is, vaccines work and the more people vaccinate the less will die and all other finer points are less important.
