Vaxx to the Future

Welcome to the Prediction Game. In December, over 1,000 participants filled out 20 questions to predict the future in 2021. We'll be following up and tracking those predictions as the year unfolds. We’re also exploring the science and mysticism of predicting the future. Our first spotlight on how to predict the future can be found here.

Well, would you look at that. It’s mid-April! In the year 2021! Time has both flown by and crawled to a screeching halt. How is that possible, you might ask? I have absolutely no idea. It might have something to do with this pandemic that has kept us largely at home for over a year! Maybe it’s the sheer onslaught of breaking news that just seems to snowball into a giant, Godzilla-sized CNN chyron that hangs above our heads as we go about our Zoom-filled lives. 

But I’m here to deliver some good news. There is hope on the horizon. Spring is here and things are starting to warm up in the Northern hemisphere! COVID vaccines are going into people’s arms at record speeds (at least here in the US)! The Every Index is outperforming the S&P and it’s raining points here at the Prediction Game.

Let’s take a quick look at what has happened over the last few months, check out how the Every Index is performing, and for the first time this year, see who’s ahead on the Leaderboard. 

So, what’s happened since we’ve last seen each other? 

Our last update email was sent in the direct aftermath of a violent insurrection on the US Capitol and the inauguration of a new administration in the exact same spot just a few days later. Since then, the Biden/Harris administration has gotten to work, re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement, establishing a national mask mandate (sort of), and passing a major economic recovery bill. That’s a total of 6 points thanks to POTUS Joe.
