Do people know that the 1890 pandemic was likely caused by another coronavirus, OC43 (that was then novel?) Nowadays, no longer novel, it is one of the causes of the common cold. We're obviously not living in the OC43 pandemic since, and we won't live in a COVID pandemic forever.

Yup. Unless our vaccination drive is selecting for higher viral loads, causing worse disease in the unvaccinated, in which case it's a matter of time until it actually does pose a risk to children. Which might explain the push to vaccinate without good data.

I can't make sense of what you're saying. Why would it be different from most everything else we know of? (Do you notice the diseases we're actually widely vaccinating against posing a higher threat to us over time? Me neither).
