I suspect this money trail will derail soon. SARSCOV2 will become another common cold virus like all the others have. We have hundreds of viruses that give us symptoms that we call a "cold", when they were new they did lots of damage, indeed when we (in Europe) came to the Americas we brought them with us to a population that hadn't encountered them before - that population suffered greatly as a result at the time.
The vaccines probably helped to an extent but they are only short term and longer term is to have natural immunity like we do with the other viruses. Natural immunity doesn't mean we don't get colds - the fact that we get colds and don't die is natural immunity. The bulk of the symptoms we get from a cold aren't the virus but rather our immune system doing it's thing. If you take away someones immune system (e.g. through illness such as cancer or immunosupression) then regular viruses are just as lethal as SARSCOV2.
