Zero new covid cases.

Scientifically impossible. So you advocate permanent lockdowns and mask mandates. Why does it matter if anyone gets vaccinated or not, then?

Not only scientifically impossible but that reaction would not be proportionally reasonable considering how many regularly die from the flu.

Which, I may add, had vaccines made for it every single season for decades(that mostly didn't even prevent infection for those who took it). To this day though the number of new cases has never fallen anywhere close to zero. Because it's a disease that mutates fast- into many different variants that are resistant to the shot developed. It's a completely different sort of virus than those almost wiped out by vaccines; The ones people get immunized for as children and usually never need to again.

I think covid will also settle into being a permanently widespread endemic disease due to having very similar characteristics like this.

Near zero. A threshold determined to be containable. I'm not that kind of scientist, so I'll let them determine it. Near the number of new cases we get for other diseases nearly eradicated by vaccines.

Sounds like you have no fucking clue what the threshold should be, nor comparable results for other diseases. Be nice if you could have been honest about that, hmm?

There were a couple areas that had zero cases for a while (after covid had already reached them), but that might not be possible now with how far the virus has spread and the different variants that have mutated. Like I said, I don't study viruses. It'd be nice if you could be honest about your blistering ego and delusion that you have more knowledge than experts in the field.

How about you do some research? You've done nothing but spout talking points with no thought, reason, or facts to back it up. Covid is in the animal population now. NO AMOUNT OF HUMAN VACCINATION will prevent it's spread among deer, wildcats, wolves, etc, etc etc. I didn't have to be a genius or a virus expert to notice that little factoid and draw a conclusion. And for all you or anyone else knows at this point, it was the vaccine itself that caused all those variants.
