Which, even if true, doesn’t change the concerns. Or whatever the reality really is.

Where you said let it run wild it's ok to kill off Americans in the name of herd immunity. That doesn’t ring a bell? Just trying to figure out all these posts about us not getting a vaccine, you’re still very adamant.

Many people already have immunity to COVID even before exposure.

As far as Sweden goes, their fatality rate the last few weeks is about the same as New York State’s. And yes, indeed their economy wasn’t nearly as damaged.
It’s definitely possible COVID will be around indefinitely, even with a vaccine. Perhaps it’s time the vulnerable dealt with it and accept responsibility instead of trying to force the risk upon the rest of society?
