imagine you're a health agency or politician.
imagine you just pushed out a literally unprecedented in human history new vaccine at a speed 100's of times faster in terms of uptake than any other ever.
imagine you told everyone it would create herd immunity and stop spread.
now imagine it's not sterilizing at all, might be actually causing more cases, cannot generate ANY herd immunity, and may actually be accelerating a pandemic.
how you feeling? ready to just say "oops" and light your career on fire and accept that you caused this?
COULD you even accept that? would you mind even let you or would you bury it under 27 layers of cognitive dissonance, lie, cheat, hide and manipulate data, and double and triple down just like you did on masks and lockdowns?
this is setting up a very ugly set of political incentives.
