Isn't covid already endemic?

Some claim it can still be irradicated. But those people get banned on YouTube for saying bad words so you probably won't believe me.
Do they say how? Doesn't seem like it even makes sense anymore. I'm going to guess based on your youtube wording that their answer is not vaccines?
"Do they say how?"

I am relatively certain this is the reason they are banned from youtube... i have seen a (now removed) video from a crank on youtube who suggested saturation bombing of high incidence areas might be the solution...

I chuckled at this. Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1217/
Vaccines + ivermectin. The numbers seem to work but only if you accept the Mexico City study. Or the numbers coming out of India.
Bret Weinstein has been citing studies he claims show that ivermectin reduces spread such that even close family members are unlikely to be infected from a person with covid.

edit: curious how hn readers feel they will be able to correct misguided beliefs if they don't even know what those beliefs are.

It's also how India got their insane case rate two months ago under control.
