I would think with your logical computer like brain, you would realize this is a war that will not be won on a global scale.

"Victory" against COVID-19 is not going to take the form of wiping out the virus; it's going to take the form of the virus death toll reaching manageable levels, not unlike the flu most years. That happens when both:
a) Enough people are immunized that the transmission rate and infection rate of the virus is significantly reduced
and
b) A mutation occurs that renders the virus less lethal overall.

We "won" against the 1918 flu pandemic. We didn't do that by eliminating the flu, we did it by outlasting that particular (extremely deadly) strain of the flu. We're trying to do the same thing now, but ideally we'd like it to happen without 100+ million people dying this time, something the anti-vaxxers seem bound and determined to repeat.

Do what you feel like you need to do to protect yourself. Wear a mask, social distance, get your boosters, but dont force that on other people who dont want to participate in your futile crusade.

No one is forcing you to do any of those things, but if you refuse to you don't get to participate in many aspects of society. And I'm completely fine with that, because whenever we let you guys run around unchecked, you turn into plague vectors that clog up the hospitals.

You have a right to decide what happens to your body, but the rest of us have a vested interest in limiting the resultant strain you put on the health care system we all share.
