Let's take a look at where people are getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Earlier this week, we learned that experts at the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation pushed back their estimate of when Dallas County might hit herd immunity—the point at which at least 80% of us will have either been vaccinated or already had COVID-19—to late June or July. That’s due largely to a dropping demand for vaccinations. Right now we’re at about 64% of that herd immunity threshold, Dr. Steve Miff told Channel 8.
The PCCI did name 12 ZIP codes that have already hit 80%, which include sparsely populated industrial areas (75247) as well as the two ZIP codes covering most of downtown Dallas. You’ll also find 75225, covering parts of North Dallas and University Park, which isn’t too surprising: White, wealthy residents have been immunized at higher rates in general, reflecting long-standing healthcare inequalities that have complicated the vaccine rollout. (The median household income in 75225 is $161,296, per U.S. Census data.)
I’m more intrigued by 75204 (parts of Old East Dallas and Uptown) and 75208 (parts of north Oak Cliff and a slice of West Dallas), which are relatively dense, relatively diverse, and have a broader mix of incomes—at least when compared to University Park. (The median household income in 75204 is about $81,000; it’s $63,000 in 75208.) But if there’s any single takeaway here, it’s that we have a lot of work to do in getting the vaccine to everybody who wants and needs it.
Because I’m a visual learner with a rudimentary knowledge of which ZIP codes are where, I looked up each of them on Google Maps, took screenshots, and uploaded the maps below for our edification. Here they are:
>> 110% Herd Immunity!!! We’re #ing done!!!
The data collection on this SARS disaster has been a complete disaster with both financial and political greed at its center.
They misspelled “mentality”.
This is worth pondering.
Herd immunity? Is that where most of the cattle are?
Well ‘they’ changed the meaning of the word ‘vaccine’ to mean the same thing as ‘drug’
“They” changed the meaning of the word ‘test’ to mean 97% false positive ‘assay’.
“they changed the meaning of the word asymptomatic to mean ‘healthy’
They redefined how the immune system works, so now after recovering from illness we have to outsource all future immune responses to China based genomes the vax companies use to make the latest subscription product.
There’s a few more...I am forgetting some...well, the word “American” used to refer to free people...
Herd immunity can be achieved via survival of enough of the population or induced immunity via inoculation with a weakened strain, a close variant or another means of causing antibodies.
Smallpox was eradicated with herd immunity by an inoculation that was only 95% effective in inducing antibodies in the human host. Smallpox was not eradicated with natural survival herd immunity and never would have been ONLY induced immunity via inoculation eradicated smallpox. Pfizer and moderna both have data to support 95% effectiveness this is high enough for eradication just like smallpox.
I’d be happy to take a test to see if I’ve had wuflu, but I do not want to pay, and it must be completely private.
I was surprised this article discussed vaccinations plus people who have had Covid. Most articles only include the former.
Quarantine of the healthy was a huge public policy mistake resulting in it taking much longer for herd immunity to be reached and causing far more deaths.
we are EAST of Sunnyvale and NORTHEAST of Seagoville - in the next county. I bet our zipcode has achieved it too - but folks are SO SCARED here...
Walmart has the sign to wear a mask - they don’t even ASK anymore - unlike Walmart in Garland.
Total nonsense. NO ONE can measure “herd immunity”, no one.
AND, the test must be reliable! A key feature that seems to be questionable at this time for certain “tests”.
Daily Civid cases are droppint: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendscases Good sign as we attempt to open up FULLY again.
The actual science (as opposed to the tv movie version of pop culture) says that some 80% of the population already had full or partial immunity due to covid’s similarity to cold viruses.
In other words, nothing anyone did or recommended in the last year made any difference at all.
I gave the old scientific definition which is when the majority of people are surviving a disease.
Otherwise, how did humanity survive all the illnesses from the beginning of time to the invention of vaccines?
It is the immune systems of the survivable which determine herd immunity, not vaccinations.
They also redefined the word "cases" to mean people who haven't died yet from the disease, but who might die cuz we all need to be concerned about all these "cases" because it proves that we are on the edge of death cuz the media is telling us we are on the edge of death.
Or something like that.
I am doing some research for a Big 10 University I work with. When did we achieve herd immunity for the Flu, RSV, Swine Flu, Rhinovirus, other coronaviruses?
