I just completely disagree that the vaccine and masks are the answer for EVERYONE.  I think a better, targeted approach would be far more effective.  First of all, the science on masks is prety widely known.  We have known about mask technology since chemical warfare became a threat.  Anything short of a surgical or N95 mask does virtually nothing to prevent someone from getting Covid.  That is not even taking into account the proper wear of a mask.  Most people don't wear effective masks, or properly wear even the ineffective masks they do have.  <br><br>We already know the science behind who the virus effects the greatest.  If you are a healthy adult under 60, the probability of you dieing from the virus is slim to nil.  If you are a young adult with health problems, you are at a slightly higher risk.  If you are a healthy 60 plus year old person, you are at a slightly higher risk.  If you are 60 plus with health problems, you are at a medium to high risk of dieing if you get covid.  These are indisputable facts.  There are very clear groups the data show are effected by this virus.  <br><br>We also know thru recent studies that people who have already caught covid and have antibodies, are more protected then those who have been  vaccinated.  <br><br>With the facts above known, why isn't our approach to vaccinate the high risk individuals (Over 60 or anyone with health issues that put them at higher risk), have them wear N95 or better masks, quarantine them in high risk areas while providing them government aid to ensure they are taken care of both medically and financially while they are quarantined.  Then allow the rest of the healthy low risk population catch the virus and build antibodies?  Being the much larger portion of the population that can withstand catching the virus, this seems like the more logical approach.  They will quickly become immune or at least, much more protected then they would be if they were vaccinated.  All the while, we protect high risk individuals from it as best we can until the virus dies while trying to re-infect the immune larger and more active healthy population.  <br><br>The current vaccine does not prevent you from catching Covid, nor does it prevent someone who has it from spreading it.  So what are we talking about here?  Is not what I said above make sense?
