Is that what we should do? Perpetually spend money into this clear money pit?
Shouldn't we be searching for an actual solution?
if your assertion is that All Covid Science has ceased since the invention of a few vaccines then i would ask that you substantiate that assertion
if you don't mean to assert that, you need to be more clear about what you actually mean. are you upset about science, or do you actually have a more nuanced concern about something like the mass media response to covid? cus i can agree that historically mass media does a comically horrendous job at interpreting and relaying scientific information to the general public, and in particular with covid i find the temptation of many people and media outlets to paint unvaccinated people dying in hospitals as evil/stupid rather than just misinformed and misled to be reprehensible
editing to add this
The science is never settled was my point. Meaning the conversation surrounding what is and isn't good practice, what should or shouldn't be used, and what should or shouldn't be enforced
must be allowed to continue, or it's not science.
It's scientology.
i don't really agree with the spirit of what you're saying; it is absolutely possible for scientific knowledge to settle into a reliable consensus. science is, unlike what anti-science conspiratorial preachers would tell you, not constantly in a flux where all knowledge is a toss-up. in the case of covid certainly there's going to be a lot of research to be done for the next few decades, but i think my point still stands that the most important thing at the outset of the pandemic was to get
any effective treatments out the and widely available. i think you are doing a disservice to yourself by entertaining the temptation to attribute political and sociological phenomenon surrounding covid to Science and not to the numerous complicated forces involved in responding to a pandemic. ultimately if your complaint is that better treatments aren't coming to shelves faster, or that covid cases are worse than they've ever been despite having supposedly effective prevention widely available, your beef probably more closely lies with a government that lacks the political will to fight covid with the same vigor as it did from the start and instead apparently feels satisfied placing the onus on Individual Responsibility™ (as usual) to fight the pandemic through vaccines
