I've always wondered what it felt like to live in the fall of civilizations and what could have been done to prevent it.

I'm not conspiratorial but I am "vaccine hesitant" as they call it here in the US. For instance, if I theoretically got bitten by a rabid dog and I didn't want to die I would take the rabies vax.
I personally disapprove of the COVID vaccine since it is very unusual for vaccines to be made in two days...and evidence regarding long-term side effects is scarce.
However if taking the Covid vaccine meant I would get $10k in cash, then of course I would take it.
It's probably more genetic; I know a family that lived to about the same age (late 80s, early 90s) but they suffer from dementia at around the 70s.
