There will be no herd immunity anywhere in the world against the South African variant with the Astra-Zeneca vaccine.
I think the desperation to be vaccinated has created an acceptance of vaccines that will in time cause resistance in the virus that will spin off impossible to defeat viruses. The J&J vaccine has that potential.
J&J has a vaccine that is effective in creating immunity to defeat the original virus only 76 percent of the time. It prevents severe illness and death 90 percent of the time. That leaves approximately 14 percent of vaccine recipients that will experience disabling and/or chronic illness. That is a lot of people on a global basis.
My concern has always been that the virus will mutate into resistant strains the more it is exposed to people. We are already are seeing one resistant strain with the South African variant and the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Global leaders need to seriously place the New Zealand Model for virus irradiation at the top of the list of CURES for the original virus and its variants.
It is completely foolhardy to believe we are to live with the original virus or its variants forever. The virus will win.
The reason this virus is as dangerous as it is is due to economic concerns as more important. That is ridiculous. If enforcement of masks, social distancing and hand washing is impossible due to intolerance, then the only answer is the New Zealand model for any country continually plagued with SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.
I sincerely doubt herd immunity will ever be achieved in any country anywhere if the path of vaccination only proves to cause more resistant strains.
The New Zealand Model is the only reasonable path forward and is the method that preserves economic strength. That is four weeks at the most of economic interruptions. This is idiocy. We could have already been finished with this virus a year ago.
This virus has no vectors except people. No mosquitoes, no bats, only people. Stop infecting each other.
The voice of authority is being diluted by Q idiots. The propaganda is a killer.
STOP THE SPREAD!
