Here's what's really going on:

The virus exists. It really did kill hundreds of thousands of people world-wide. It made millions of people worldwide very sick. It infected tens of millions of people worldwide, which made it easy for it to spread and make all those people sick and/or dead.

Then

Vaccines came out, which can help reduce the spread, reduce infection, reduce sickness in those who get it anyway, and reduce the chance of death from the virus.

BUT

A whole lot of people refused to get vaccinated.

SO

Some people were vaccinated, which caused the virus to try the next person down the line. Eventually the virus was able to mutate, because the more people UNvaccinated, the less likely the virus is to simply go away by itself. And so - it mutated.

THEN

People still refused to vaccinate, even with the Delta mutation that was spreading even worse. So the virus doubled down and mutated again.

NOW

The virus is mutated such that it isn't quite the same as the one the vaccines were invented to combat - however - the vaccines are absolutely reducing the number of deaths from covid in people who are vaccinated. It's also evident that of the people who need hospitalization OR who have died from COVID, most of them are unvaccinated.

IN ADDITION:

Masks reduce the risk of infection, and reduce the risk of spread. Even the normal surgical masks. None of them -prevent- infection. But they do reduce the risk.

That is what's really going on.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
