With all of the unvaccinated folks worldwide, you just know that newer, more potent mutations are likely to appear. That is the way RNA viruses work. |

[url]https://twitter.com/DrEricDing[/url] or https://twitter.com/DrEricDing ; I’ve been warning about #DeltaVariant since April and May that it would lead to a crisis. CDC didn’t even declare Delta a VOC until mid June despite WHO declaring it a VOC in first week of May. That’s derelict given the mountains of data out there by May. - UK suffering a fresh new #DeltaVariant surge—cases, hospitalizations, & deaths all . The main difference now—Children returning to schools: unmasked, age <16 unvaccinated, and in school buildings that largely lack good ventilation systems. Schools need CORSI BOXES ASAP! DJ The main problem is government inaction, experts blind for the risks, denial. Blaming the unvaccinated with airtravel in some area's above pre-pandemic levels, people forced to return to school/workplace without proper protection...I hope there soon will be legal steps to deal with the worst politicians and "experts" ... Vaccines help on the short term but may increase risks on the longer term ! From high level of asymptomatic spread from vaccinated still getting infected to ADE...Vaccines do not stop the spread=mutations=variants enough ! So extra NPI is needed ! Using vaccinations to reopen and see cases explode is insane ! |

Think I said this before but: One of main concerns is,some of these people who have had one dose of the vaccine my think that they are immune ,and just go out and about , without masks or social distancing,this too me is a very underrated risk factor, Will the virus if only partially affected by the vaccine become more vaccine resistant...???? Not rocket science...... Just virology/ biology..!!!!!! Take care all π·ππ |

There was a report from Israel this week, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, that indicated that people who had received the Pfizer vaccine in January now only had 16% protection. It appears that the efficacy of the vaccines fades quite quickly, confirming that booster shots will be needed, particularly for the vulnerable. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesnβt accord with the facts.
