Vaccines alone will not end the pandemic.
People need to shut down transmission of the disease.
Vaccines - masks - distancing - testing.
We have all the tools we need. We just need to use them properly.
Arguing about whether or not any of them work alone is not going to solve the problem.
We can beat this.
It is not futile.
We just need to coordinate our efforts properly.
So far we have not done that.
We must continue to try. It is our only way out.

Going back up again because of pandemic irresponsibility.
Active Cases are now above 9.4 million people who have actively tested positive for the virus.
Serious and Critical Cases rose back above 12,000 after dipping nearly to 11,000.
It's kind of like Smokey the Bear.
Only YOU can prevent virus transmission.
Avoid sharing air.
Get vaccinated and get your booster.
Protect life.

Impossible to say, but you are probably correct. Certainly most, if not all, deaths after the vaccines were developed were preventable.

Trump White House COVID-19 coordinator Deborah Birx says most deaths could have been avoided
In an excerpt from "Covid War: The Pandemic Doctors Speak Out," Birx said that while many deaths in the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic were likely inevitable, the lethality of later waves could have been greatly reduced if the U.S. had "mitigated earlier ... paused earlier and actually done" greater social distancing and shutdown measures.
"I look at it this way," Birx told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta. "The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."
In March 2020, Birx and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that nearly 240,000 would die from the coronavirus if precautions were not taken. To date, there are nearly 550,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Tracker.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
The initial surge never had to become so big so quickly. Trump blew it. Better leadership would have done a much better job of limiting the spread. Clinton would have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives where Trump did not. That's the bottom line. She would have totally taken it seriously where he blew it off. She would have recognized the crisis for what it was and not tried to make it about her.

I think any competent, sane President would have done so including Pence. Trump was the delusional wild card that skewed the US response.
Trump will get his wish of being "famous" and in all the US history books just like Benedict Arnold, Charles Manson and Ted Kaczynski. Probably more so since he is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Should pedophile mass murderers of the future be called "Trumpers"?

Jail him.Brazil’s Bolsonaro dismisses call for COVID travel curbs
Bolsonaro has been widely criticised for his management of the pandemic.
He has railed against lockdowns, often refused to wear a mask in public and chose not to get vaccinated, while a Senate commission recently recommended the far-right president be indicted for his government’s handling of the crisis.
