We’re in a unique position in human history; where we’ve shifted the human population to dependency on vaccine induced immunity. And that’s on the great assumption that populations would cooperate. And for many years, people lined up. The six vaccines; people were there. They saw the reason. We’re in a very fragile state now. We have developed a world that is dependent on vaccination.
