I think if you asked an epidemiologist, "What is the role of viruses in nature?" they'd give you a blank stare. If you asked Fauci that question he'd ramble on for a few minutes and say nothing.
What is the role of viruses? Shrug. I don't know either.
It seems that most things in nature have some purpose within the context of the greater whole. Fungi have a vital role in the natural world, as do other microscopic life, so why wouldn't viruses?
Anyway, humans evolved to live with viruses and other microscopic life. It can be a really inconvenient relationship at times, but the microscopic life make our existence possible. Indeed we have a sort of deal worked out with lots of little critters, apparently including viruses.
Typically a virus goes from "dangerous" to mild. Apparently it doesn't take that long. In the case of the covid it took about 2 years or less. That's pretty amazing.
The governments, the scientists and the pharma companies did not do a single thing that caused that to happen. In fact, it's totally possible that all the attempts to "stop the spread" made that process take longer than necessary. Maybe it would have been over in a single flu season if people had gone on with normal life.
Think about the mechanisms of illness within an individual. When we're sick, we stay home and need bed rest. We often have zero choice in the matter. You just can't even get up if you wanted to. That's probably when we're most contagious too.
All the advice and activity of the scientists and doctors during this episode was worthless, possibly worth less than zero.
