Thanks, JMGlasgow. I don't trust them either nor do I trust the media. What I do trust is what I see with my own eyes. The original Covid had a 1% death rate but who knows about new mutations. Delta is harder on kids and younger people than the original so those numbers are not out yet. Thankfully, treatments have evolved and clinicians are figuring this thing out. They are becoming more and more efficient with treatment every single day.
I know quite a few people who are post covid. Some are fine and some are messed up in different ways. I know several people who have had Covid twice, mostly healthcare workers. What we don't know are the long term effect of Covid after a person catches it 3, 4, 5, 6 times. Here is some info from Johns Hopkins regarding lung tissue damage and remember that covid damages more than the lungs.
Covid will be around for quite some time and after several rounds of It I'm betting one's lungs will be pretty jacked up and whoever makes it to the point where the lungs are scarred over several times, it's too late for a vaccine. You are done.

Is COVID-19 lung damage reversible?
After a serious case of COVID-19, a patient’s lungs can recover, but not overnight. “Recovery from lung damage takes time,” Galiatsatos says. “There’s the initial injury to the lungs, followed by scarring. Over time, the tissue heals, but it can take three months to a year or more for a person’s lung function to return to pre-COVID-19 levels.
“Lung healing in of itself can produce symptoms,” Galiatsatos says. “It is similar to a leg bone breaking, needing a cast for months, and having the cast come off. No one would expect to begin to run right away with the newly-healed leg bone. As the leg strengthens and muscle re-grows, patients will experience discomfort from this healing. This is what our lungs go through, too!”
