But, considering the history of this site and the strong implication of constantly changing science, I doubt that.

A problem centers around those who throw the word "science" around but have no clue what science is and could not begin to describe the scientific method. A bigger problem is that there seems to be very little science going on or at least available for reporting to the public. That which is reported through the mainstream media favors the narrative of fear. Where is the science comparing the effectiveness of recovering from COVID vs. the vaccines? Instead of a vaccine passport, why not have people get tested for antibodies, which better describe the immune condition of an individual? How effective are the masks that are being pushed down even to newborns? Last year we decried the terror of "Super spreader events" like the gathering at Mount Rushmore. Now we have hundreds of thousands of unmasked people side to side at football games with no reported spreading going on.
I do not fear the COVID. I do fear what has happened to this formerly free country. Had any one written about this 2 years ago they would have been laughed out of the room. Now we have overburdened hospitals with short staffs being forced to kick out doctors and nurses who decline to get vaccinated, thus greatly acerbating the health care situation.
In the spring of 2020 Dr. Fauci was promising herd immunity, Now we have herd hysteria and a population increasingly afraid to go on with life. I fear this will not end well.
