@Scottj175 - IF it produces a disaster it will likely be a year or two down the road, and the problem is that there's no way to know which way it may go and thus whether you want to be vaccinated to try to evade the disaster or whether you'll get nailed by it if you are and evade it if you're not.

It's also possible it won't matter, which of course would be the worst of all possibilities.

The odds of the article's outcome occurring are not particularly high, but the outcome if it does will be unbelievably destructive. The worst part of it, if it happens, will be the near-certain destruction of governments and civil order since it will be impossible to hide how it happened and while this bug has engendered plenty of fear a mutation that produces a 10% CFR will almost-certainly lead to collapse of critical supply chains and infrastructure on a national basis along with a literal "shoot anyone that gets within 20' of you" mentality among a decent part of the population.
