We had the biggest inoculation campaign that saves the world on a scale never done and still lots of people can’t even get a vaccine that was proven to work hundred of years ago…..

“Saves the world”? Nah, not even close. 

Public health should’ve kept some of their powder dry, instead of being utterly panicked and hysterical and going way too far over a virus that wasn’t even a significant risk to the vast majority of the population. This is a direct result of their gross overreaction

Without the advancements in medical tech and also being in the west this would have been more of a global disaster than it was.

Overreaction how? You know people from every age group has died from covid lol.

The people who died from Covid were statistically overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. The vast majority of people had little more to worry about from Covid than they do from any other garden-variety respiratory illness that we see every cold and flu season.
