Actually the numbers ive seen say it’s about about 50/50…from countries that were tracking it. Pfizer has little to no effect on the delta and the past two variants all three had about a seventy percent effectiveness rate on… the us published the first two studies before the variants were widespread so it boasted 95% effectiveness… do you actually read any if the papers or just go by the news articles?Darwin was right.
99% of people who have died or have been hospitalized with serious COVID 19 complications since May are unvaccinated.
Don’t go extinct. Get vaccinated.![]()
This is where i am at… its a totally new concept for a vaccine… as soon as they have a standard one im fine with getting it… we just really have no clue with the mrna stuff.. we can’t yet… it was still a half decade away from being partially tested enough to really consider itNope. My body already did it’s job. Now, after all the sheep get it and the I can see real-time side affects but more importantly long term then yes. I am not an anti vaxer
Where are you getting your information? The (rather vague and contradictory) second paragraph of that article acknowledges they don’t know how effective the vaccine is against the Delta variant.Actually the numbers ive seen say it’s about about 50/50…from countries that were tracking it.

Seriously, check a bunch of stuff from italy, Britain, hell anywhere and the numbers seem to be 50% of cases are vaccinated …

'Pfizer COVID vaccine significantly less effective against Delta variant'
Ministers agree to move forward with rapid, home coronavirus testing as early as next weekwww.google.com
the good news though is in Europe at least they are expecting a traditional non mrna vaccine that can be adapted to variants rather quickly to be approved within a couple months… its in the final approval stages…
weird how we aren’t really pushing for that
Back to your strawman and feigning that you don’t know that “cases rising” means new daily cases. You know, like I’ve been pointing out to you almost daily for a week FFS. You paint yourself into a corner with your ridiculous, unsupportable argument and then try to change the argument.

Are you even paying attention? “Cases are rising” isn’t referring to all-time cases, that can only go one way, of course they’re rising. Why would anyone make mention of that? They are talking about NEW DAILY CASES RISING, particularly the seven or fourteen day trends. When that is happening, WE ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT CLOSE TO HERD IMMUNITY. Nobody is claiming that except you. How can that make sense to you?It is just stunningly comical to me that you have NO clue what herd immunity is....yet you still keep arguing using the same failed definition of it.
As I have said back to you for a week - a point you can't grasp because your entire position is based upon ignorance - cases will always rise. You point to cases rising as some evidence that we are not at or close to some form of herd immunity. In your wrong mind, using your wrong definition of herd immunity, to you IF cases are rising we aren't there.
That is demonstrably, factually wrong.
The virus is endemic. You don't know what herd immunity even means. You aren't aware that some years we get to herd immunity with the flu....while watching cases rise.
This continues to be like watching an idiot argue till he's blue in the face that water is gasoline. Um....no, it's not.

U.S. facing 'pandemic of the unvaccinated', CDC warns as cases, deaths rise
Low vaccination coverage in parts of the U.S. is putting people at risk, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned.www.nbcnews.com
Yeah and the article - if you read all of it - also says "At the moment, around 60% of the patients in serious conditions were vaccinated."
Darwin was right.
99% of people who have died or have been hospitalized with serious COVID 19 complications since May are unvaccinated.
Now that the U.S. has accelerated its vaccination rollout, hope for the pandemic's end seems to be on the horizon — except that vaccinations among marginalized communities in many states have lagged behind.
For instance, Hispanic people account for 55% of COVID-19 cases and 40% of the population in California, but they have only received 21% of vaccinations, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF). Similarly, in Washington, D.C., about 49% of cases and 76% of deaths have affected Black people, but they have only received 31% of D.C.'s vaccinations.
Comparable patterns persist when it comes to flu vaccinations. Research from the KFF found that 49% of white adults obtained the flu vaccine in the 2018-2019 winter season. In contrast, 39% of Black adults, 37% of Hispanic adults, and 38% of American Indian or Alaska Native adults received the flu shot."We need more respected community leaders to speak out to help educate, motivate and inspire others so they will feel more comfortable receiving vaccinations." — Dr. Alvin Cantero, DNP, FNP-BC
Lower rates? No, rates are rising.Round and round and round...
AGAIN...ONCE AGAIN - the definition of herd immunity:
Herd immunity happens when a large part of the population -- the herd -- is immune to a virus. This can happen either because these people got vaccinated or had already been infected. Herd immunity makes it harder for a virus to spread. So even those who haven't been sick or vaccinated have some protection.
When a LARGE portion of the population is immune to the virus - CHECK. 3 months ago it was estimated that 180-190M Americans were immune, and that number is likely closer now to 210-225M.
Herd Immunity makes it harder for the virus to spread - CHECK. It does not say IMPOSSIBLE for it to spread. HARDER. It STILL spreads. Notice the definition does NOT say "makes it impossible for the virus to spread." The very definition of herd immunity specifically indicates the virus will still spread. Just at lower rates. Where we are.
From Johns Hopkins: "For example, if 80% of a population is immune to a virus, four out of every five people who encounter someone with the disease won’t get sick"
You still equate herd immunity with eradication. You are wrong. You still don't understand the definition.
Cases can and will rise when we have herd immunity, as they do with the flu. They don't go away and there are and will be peaks and valleys.
Are we there yet? Again I don't know, but we do know we are close. The vast # of counties across the country reporting no cases at all (something unheard of once this virus began) is evidence to that.
This is where i am at… its a totally new concept for a vaccine… as soon as they have a standard one im fine with getting it… we just really have no clue with the mrna stuff.. we can’t yet… it was still a half decade away from being partially tested enough to really consider it
we have no insight on long term effects… its extremely scary **** because they haven’t even come close to figuring out what ******* with proteins like that is really going to lead to down the road…
if this was ebola that morphed down to something like 10% deadly so its spread would be actually problematic and its death rate among previously healthy people would be catastrophic, then by all means go ape **** on fully experimental stuff, but there is are several very viable standard vaccines that only arent approved because they didn’t get the same emergency status to skip all the protocols that the mrna ones got…they will be out within months… there is no reason not to wait if you aren’t pressed for it…
Everyone is going to get it sooner or later. Vaccine or not.
Oh god, don't say that, bubble (cuck) boy is already on the brink.
Look at the new 36-hour average!
Lower rates? No, rates are rising.
Where did I ever use the term “eradication”? You’re the one that declared Covid “over” not long ago.
If, in the past three weeks, the US had gone from 11,000 cases to 3,100, THAT would be indicative of being near herd immunity. But that didn’t happen, cases went up to 31,000. That is absolutely inconsistent with being at or near herd immunity. Nothing about that suggests RESISTANCE. No qualified person ever declared being at or near herd immunity when cases were rising, be it against Covid or the flu. And you’re wrong, some counties didn’t have their first Covid case until 2021.

A Year In, Covid-19 Cases Have Reached Every U.S. County
An isolated Hawaiian enclave where only about 70 people live and work appeared to become the last U.S. county to identify a Covid-19 case after a resident apparently picked up the virus while traveling.www.wsj.com
So five fully vaccinated (D)imbos tested positive.
Tibilo and Floggy, you two ladies might want to re-visit the sputum you have been dispensing about "positive Chinese flu tests are related to right-wingers failure to vaccinate." Both claims are absolute bullshit.
The people not getting vaccinated are more often people of color, your entire premise is a proven lie, and getting the vaccine does not protect against positive tests. Again, you are circle-jerking over positive test results, while TSF keeps pointing out that mortality is way, way down.
Almost as if the people getting the virus are having mild cases - positive tests but no serious symptoms.
Sound like somebody you know?
