Also, it is most probably not necessary for those that have been infected with SARS-Cov-2 and have recovered to be vaccinated but again the virus continues to mutate so it’s possible that just like vaccinated people may get a new and different strain those previously infected may get sick as well and suffer great consequences.

......We are better at treating it and preventing it but it’s going to go through the entire world population before it’s done. We can all hope that it does only affect 10% or so of the population and the other 90% are as you say “naturally immune” and suffer no serious complications. But ‘hope’ isn’t a tactic and ‘science’ and medical proficiency and available medicine is only going to go so far. No matter what we know and do, some people are going to die.

I agree. I keep telling people this only ends when everyone has been vaccinated or had COVID. The Spanish Flu of 1918-19 reached the most remote Pacific islands and Eskimo villages in the Arctic.
