So, where are we with herd immunity?

bingo

vaxxing still allows transmission -much the same as being unvaxxed in terms of transmission
The only advantage to vaxxing is it helps reduce the symptoms -but then therapeutics do the same.

So we either keep getting new vaxxes, or let the virus fade away due to natural (acquired) immunity
~~

Speaking of which..WHERE ARE THE NEW VAXES?? Trump got us multiple vaxx in 9 months!

what has Biden done to promote new vaxxes for delta? Nothing
Biden just runs around screaming "vaxx mandate" when the vaxxes we have lose efficacy
with each passing day

1) How long does natural immunity need to last for your plan to work?
2) How long does natural immunity actually last?
 
This is a ‘what if’ objection.

What if, natural immunity doesn’t last? What if it does?

No, it isn't. Indications right now are that natural immunity lasts less than a year.

But the onus isn't on me, or anyone who claims that. If your entire plan hinges on long-lasting natural immunity - the foundation of that plan should be proof that immunity is, in fact, long lasting.

This isn't a plan right now. Show me that immunity lasts for years, and I'm on board. Otherwise, it's a "what if" plan.

You seem to be suggesting that therapeutics coupled with natural immunity is a way out lol. Either that, keep chasing variants with vaccines.

Can we get Fauci to hire you?

Show me there are no long term effects to the vaccines lol.

You’re grasping at straws. The only thing we ‘know’ is that natural immunity is markedly superior to vax immunity. That’s the current state of knowledge. Things can change, but that’s where we’re at.

Why don’t we act on it?

"Grasping at straws?"

You haven't presented any facts to support long-term natural immunity. None.
 
The Crats have decided to ignore the large number who have obtained natural immunity, even though it is more effective than the virus. They want to require everyone to get vaccinated regardless. The question is, why?

Big Pharma.

The same clowns who gave us the opioid crisis.

Hello Darth,

I stopped listening to them after the Spring of 2020.

With all the talk and handwringing over the bug I just think it’s interesting there isn’t a ‘daily herd immunity’ thread because the pandemic will only end when we get there. It’s all case numbers, death counts, impending death from football game attendance.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense. Not that much does when it comes to very likely intelligently designed CCP bug.

There is no proof that the virus was human created. And regardless of it's orgination, that doesn't matter now. How we handle the virus is up to us.

There is solid evidence that taking logical measures to prevent spread saves lives.

Our initial response was to pretend it wasn't happening, that it wasn't so bad, that it would go away by Easter, that if we don't test then we don't have high numbers (praising the beauty of ignorance,) that if we swallow bleach and shine lights up inside that would fix it :rolleyes:, that hydroxy was the answer, and finally that horse dewormer was the answer. All of that was nonsense.

Ignoring the pandemic is extremely foolish. That just makes it worse and makes it last longer. Our best response is logic based. Logically, a unified response directed by knowledgeable people whose job it is to determine the best response IS the best response.

Our problem is we have people like Tucker Carlson making a lot of money by telling government haters what they want to hear. Don't listen to them.

We have to support our government. It is the only thing which stands between having a country and not having a country.

It is sadly popular among the misinformed to hate and distrust our government. That unpatriotic selfishness is one of the main problems in our country.

Because of RW talking heads making lots of money by spewing rumors, and those who refuse to cooperate because hatred clouds their thinking, we do not have a unified response to the pandemic.

That is why things are so bad.

If everyone got vaccinated, kept their distance, and wore masks, just like Dr Fauci said to do, we would be able to get control of the pandemic.

Please think of what is best for America. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. And the answer is to listen to Dr Fauci and everyone else telling you the right thing to do so we can have a unified response.
 
You haven't presented any facts to support long-term vaccine immunity. None.

Why would I? It may not exist - but there are boosters.

As far as we know right now, natural immunity is strong for 5 months. After that, it seems to start to diminish. Estimates are that it really lasts under a year.

Of all of the mystifying things that are associated w/ the reaction to COVID, vaccines becoming a "liberal" thing is one of the most inexplicable.
 
Hello Geeko Sportivo,

Herd immunity is being delayed because of SHEEP MENTALITY and the HERD IGNORANCE OF THE NON-VAXERS!

It's OK, even if it takes years- THE PROBLEM IS RECTIFYING ITSELF AS THE NON-VAXERS ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES NOW ALREADY!

It's about as stupid as playing Russian Roulette with themselves.

BUT THEY ARE DYING FOR THE DONALD TRUMP CAUSE! WHAT A SACRIFICE! HOW NOBLE IS THAT?

BTW, what is the DONALD TRUMP CAUSE- DOES ANYONE REMEMBER?

Wasn't all of Donald Trump's causes just about him and keeping himself in power anyway?

My only question now is- ARE ALL OF YOU DEAD TRUMPTARDS GOING TO BE VOTING IN THE NEXT ELECTION?

laughing-monkey.gif

Almost all of them come around just before they die when it's too late and say they wish they got vaccinated.
 
Exactly! That's all I need to know.

Easy. If everyone got vaxxed tomorrow, we'd be done w/ COVID within a few weeks.

Natural immunity? Who knows. I've asked a bunch of times on this thread alone. No one knows how long it lasts, or how long it might take to get herd immunity through natural immunity.
 
Hello Darth,

Where does one start lol?

One is in thinking that somehow a different president was going to affect the outcome in any meaningful way. Does he really think we wouldn’t be struggling with Delta and Mu if Hillary had just won in 2016? It’s absurd on its face. We’re 20 months into this thing and once a virus gets established in a population—any population, we know what comes next, right? We at least know that much, right?

*By the time anyone knew about it, the virus was already established in our population.* The iceberg had already hit the Titanic.

Secondly, this idea is that Biden somehow gets an A+ on Covid is laughable. It was supposed to be over after Trump left him a good supply of vaccines. The difference between us is I don’t view the bug through a partisan prism. Biden’s messaging is all over the lot but, again, the virus doesn’t care about that. We are struggling because the vaccines are arguably NOT vaccines but prophylactic treatments do well in mitigating severe symptoms but, frankly suck, at stopping transmission.

That’s right, I don’t fault Biden for this anymore than I did Trump. It’s China’s fault for—at minimum, lying about human to human transmission while seeding the planet with the bug. And, they very likely designed the damn thing in their Wuhan lab.

But there aren’t any partisan points to be scored with that angle. So, yeah.

The China theory is unproven. Hillary would have done FAR BETTER than Trump. No question about it. She would have taken it very seriously from the start instead of giving the virus 2 months to spread before doing anything.
 
Hello Darth,

The study out of Israel showed that natural immunity is markedly better than vax immunity. Surprise-surprise.

The virus mutates too rapidly for us to ‘vaccinate ourselves out of a pandemic’. Zero Covid is a pipe dream and Australia is getting ready to destroy itself chasing after it.

We could totally vaccinate ourselves out of it in a few weeks if everyone took the vaccine.

The hold-outs extend the pandemic.
