I know Zero Covid is not something you can get behind, but Zero Covid Deaths is like 'focused' protection, it really doesn't work as the virus continues to spread among the 'low-risk' cohort and undermining the the goal of Zero Covid.
The virus is too fast at evolving with the current rate of transmission. We won't even be able to test the new vaccines before a few new strains start circulating, which means we are taking a shot in the dark.
We have to buy time to be over the local elimination.
