The headline and tone of this article from CNBC are alarming: "Chile has one of the world's best vaccination rates. COVID is surging there anyway." One must read 13 paragraphs into the story to begin to solve what looks like a mystery.
Chile's vaccination campaign against the coronavirus has been one of the world's quickest and most extensive, but a recent surge in infections has sparked concern beyond its borders.
Almost 40% of the South American country's total population have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to statistics compiled by Our World in Data, reflecting one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.
Chile is an impressive country in many respects. Yet:
The number of daily cases in Chile rose to a record high on April 9, climbing above 9,000 for the first time since the pandemic began and significantly higher than the peak of almost 7,000 recorded last summer.
CNBC's writer Sam Meredith offers possible explanations:
Health experts say the country's latest surge in cases has, in part, been driven by more virulent strains of the virus, a relaxation of public health measures, increased mobility and defiance of simple precautions — such as physical distancing and wearing a mask.
These are all Fauci favorites. Live in fear of new strains (and be prepared for masks and lockdowns forever because viruses mutate, you see). For goodness's sake, isolate from each other, and don't let herd immunity develop (as it seems to have done in free states like Texas and Florida and in Sweden). And above all, wear your obedience mask and live in a world without smiles.
Oh, yes: Cut yourself off from the rest of the world. Right-wing Chile didn't, and look what happened:

President Sebastian Pinera, had ordered the closure of the country’s borders from March to November of 2020, albeit with a few exceptions, before the decision was taken to reopen them to international passengers late last year.
Vaccine induced immunopathology. The vaccine is worse than the virus
Less sun = less UV to kill the virus.
Well, it’s a good thing we’re not USING THE CHICOM’S VACCINE AS CHILE HAS USED.
Moderna Rules!
If less than 40% of the population is even patially vaccinated, then over 60% remains vulnerable.
China vaccine for China virus = Oops
Wasn’t that what Tenpenny warned about?
Pretty sure that was Q.
With a vaccine that is only 50% effective or less.
They did say that that the fake vaccine won’t prevent you from getting the Fauci Flu, just lessen the symptoms. Has everyone forgotten?
I believe so

Article above from 2006 about value of Vit D3 against influenza...
Don’t they test all citizens in Sweden twice annually for D3...???
This covid is a SCAM of epic proportions, as most here know.
I’m for closing our borders... let’s start with the one we share with Mexico.
A study published by the University of Chile earlier this month reported that CoronaVac was 56.5% effective two weeks after the second doses were administered in the country. Crucially, however, they also reported that one dose was only 3% effective.Wow...3% effectiveness of a single dose. And only 57% effective two weeks after the second dose. Moderna and Pfizer hit the mid-90s after two weeks after second dose."This would help to explain why Chile — with one of the world's most robust vaccine rollouts but 93% of the doses coming from China — has experienced a simultaneous significant expansion in cases, and a much slower decline in hospitalizations and deaths compared to the early rollouts in Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States," Ian Bremmer, president of risk consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a research note.
No wonder the Chicoms needed Fauci to invest in their virology research. They aren't very good at it.
Buying vaccine from China? You gotta be kidding me...
"Chile's widespread use of CoronaVac, the coronavirus vaccine manufactured by Chinese firm Sinovac."They are using a cheap Chinese knock-off of the Warp Speed vaccines."CoronaVac was 56.5% effective two weeks after the second doses were administered in the country. Crucially, however, they also reported that one dose was only 3% effective."
It would have been nice if you included the reason the article gives for the surge: Chile used the Chinese vaccine, which is only 3% effective after the first dose, and only 50% effective after two doses.
Your both right.
< UV = < Vit D.
A highly vexccinated population for a rapidly mutating virus which now seem to be encountering it again in the wild . Where have I heard that before?.
Right now its just cases but I expect that to start to change.
Want to bet the old canard of lockdown, mask and social isolation will be trotted out. It never worked before but maybe it will this time. Oh hurry up and get your booster. Roll the dice.
