The omicron variant of the coronavirus seems to be spreading like wildfire. It especially raged during the holiday season.
People are wondering why so many vaccinated people are getting COVID-19 lately. AP News gives some answers.
They reported:
Why are so many vaccinated people getting COVID-19 lately?
A couple of factors are at play, starting with the emergence of the highly contagious omicron variant. Omicron is more likely to infect people, even if it doesn’t make them very sick, and its surge coincided with the holiday travel season in many places.
People might mistakenly think the COVID-19 vaccines will completely block infection, but the shots are mainly designed to prevent severe illness, says Louis Mansky, a virus researcher at the University of Minnesota.
And the vaccines are still doing their job on that front, particularly for people who’ve gotten boosters.
Two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine still offer strong protection against serious illness from omicron. While those initial doses aren’t very good at blocking omicron infection, boosters — particularly with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines — rev up levels of the antibodies to help fend off infection.
I got my two Pfizer shots in February and my booster in October. So far, so good.

This remark as quoted in the article may be true, but that's not how the injections were sold to the public: "...the shots are mainly designed to prevent severe illness..." They were billed flat out as a way to PREVENT illness, PREVENT transmission, and end the pandemic by allowing life to "return to normal." Everyone from biden and Fauci on up are on video telling this to anyone who will listen. Immunizations are supposed to immunize. Immunize means to be IMMUNE. More than a year of this idiocy, with people lining up for shot three and shot four, shows that you can indeed fool most of the people all of the time. The question is: when will Americans wake up?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's my recollection of the vaccines. They were sold to "prevent" transmissions. It's all a bunch of bullshit. Well, at least I got a coupon for a 10% discount of a shopping cart full of groceries (up to $200) for getting the booster at the Gallup Safeway.
