      The article is paywalled, here's an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20221123125303/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/23/vaccinated-people-now-make-up-majority-covid-deaths/

      The article is fairly scant on details but it seems the point it's trying to make is get the updated booster because your old vaccine immunity evaporated, which uh yeah makes sense. It doesn't look like the vaccines got worse, just that people refuse to get their boosters.

        Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted

        If I put in the effort to find the research that shows that countless people with vaccines and boosters were killed and disabled, will it change your mind? Like I can do it, but I suspect that you're not going to budge.

          I get that vaccines aren't miracle silver bullets and some people are gonna die regardless of whether they're vaccinated or not.

          I still think it's just plain fucking unrealistic to keep zero-covid going for the long term. The world collectively (save for a few countries) fucked up with dealing with Covid and that's not just gonna change, all countries are going to have to find ways of living with it.

            Better drugs are coming out. Getting covid in 2023 will be easy safer than in 2022.

            and some people are gonna die

            reread that
