COVID-19: C.1.2 Variant May Decimate
Herd Immunity
Dr Kevin Kavanagh from Health Watch USAsm discusses the
need for everyone to become vaccinated. A new study finds that Natural
Immunity is greater and lasts longer than immunity from the Pfizer
Vaccine. But "greater" is not "great" both the vaccinated and naturally
immune are susceptible to the Delta Variant. Two studies have now shown
that past infection plus vaccination provides better protection. The
Delta Variant has twice the rate of hospitalization as previous
variants. Those not vaccinated are more likely to be hospitalized,
admitted to the ICU and die. ICU admissions, the need for ventilation
and deaths are almost entirely in the unvaccinated. Because hospitals
are filled, those who require care for serious non-delta ailments may
not be able to receive care. Since, the unvaccinated have a poorer
prognosis, they may be on the wrong end of triage decisions. Because of
the new variants, such as C.1.2, herd immunity is not possible, and we
will experience continued waves of the coronavirus unless we follow
public health strategies. Jack Pattie Show. Sept. 1, 2021.
