    One thing I find fascinating is that people can move from one massively incorrect COVID-19 prediction to another, with barely any discussion or indeed acknowledgement that they were wrong

        And it's not just predictions. The number of people who have repeated the "t cells mean herd immunity" myth, or the "only 6% of people actually died from COVID-19" bullshit and have just ignored the fact that they were totally incorrect is remarkable

        It's also not just the usual anti-science crowd. Mainstream, renowned scientists are pulling this absolute garbage and then pretending it never happened. It's remarkable

        yeah, I am sad to say I have beenproved right and everything we see is entirely predictable and what really scares me ? is that any immunity is short lived

        Here's mine: we will have a new coronavirus spillover before we are done with this one (medium confidence).
