Omni Con

Listen to poem:
At first herd immunity was the go
When most people got it and recovered
COVID would have no where to go.
It would die out, starved of victims,
Starved of infections from which to spread.

Then came the shutdowns, must get vaccinated
to get out and about.
Get jabbed - once, twice, three times, 
four, five, and more.
But Omnicon changed all that.
The vaccinated got infected.
The infected got reinfected.

Now all has changed.
The politics says: 'Let it rip'
It can't be stopped.
Everyone will get it.
The vulnerable will die and be eliminated
Most people will recover.
We must learn to live with it.
There is no choice now, no solution.
The little bag of chemicals,
the virus, that needs to reinfect forever to survive.
The virus that cannot live without us, as parasitic hosts,
has won, 
R.I.P.

I tend to agree. The vaccine efficacy was much hyped but has proven more profitable for its makers than protective. Well done.
