MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Brendon Hrepic says he is still shocked that COVID-19 caught up with him when WEWS spoke with him via Zoom from his hospital bed.
“The doctor that I saw at the ER was like ‘you are literally the worse case that I’ve ever seen post-vaccination,’” said Hrepic.
The 31-year-old essential worker from Mayfield Heights said he did everything right throughout the pandemic, from social distancing to masking up.

You may have missed the point because you need to read the post I was responding to. What was said is (paraphrasing) if you are vaccinated, you body will have a violent reaction when exposed to virus . That has not been my experience. I have attended many crowded venues since March 4th, 2021. No symptoms of any sort.
there’s an observable fact that you refuse to practice what your tagline preaches...
This is true (although one nitpick: Rt will drop below 1. R0 exists independent of who’s vaccinated since it - by definition - is a measure of spread within a completely vulnerable population).
The smallpox vaccine is only 95% effective and with a mass vaccination campaign, it was wiped off the face of the Earth after ~3,500 years of terrorizing people and killing hundreds of millions of people.
We’ve certainly seen that with the flu vaccines over the years. Do you think this virus will continue to mutate,
produce variants, or whatever is the preferred term?

Welcome, your highness!
even the grossly inflated official death toll is no where near 1,650,000. Covid was nothing more than a bad flu season used to fuel mass hysteria in an election year
Most people are not at risk from covid causing any serious health effects.
there’s that response i was looking for...
congratulations...
you’ve just proven yourself to be a liar... again...
You have established a ‘pattern’ of promoting Facuism since your last year sign up.. You have an agenda sown in deception of ‘second amendment’.. Give up the ghost pretense.. for all I know you could be old Fauci himself ...or the geezer head of the CDC.. like a snail there is slime behind your trail..
You have pretty much NO cred anymore....Go away.
Great question!
What we’ve seen in the past year and a half is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus does produce mutations, some of which impact the antigen targeted by the vaccines (the S protein). However, this protein must still be able to bind to the ACE2 cell receptor or else the virus loses its ability to infect human cells, so there are some limits to how much that protein can change. The worst changes seen so far (P.1, or the Brazil variant) reduces the effectiveness of antibodies to other variants. Evidence from Brazil (particularly Manaus) suggests this evasion works even in those who’ve already recovered from a previous bout of COVID-19.
However, the vaccines we have in hand today remain largely effective against all known variants. Further, once they have full FDA approval and approvals for all age groups, vaccine makers will be able to use the same regulatory channel used with updating flu vaccines to produce modified vaccines specific to new variants. So even if a new variant emerged that was much more successful at evading existing antibodies, it wouldn’t take long to have a working vaccine deployed against it.
The meat of your question - I think - comes down to what the future looks like here in the US. Based on what’s happen to date and what’s in the pipeline right now, I think we’ll see the current vaccination push driving our COVID-19 cases and deaths way, way down. By July, I think we’ll have reached the Herd Immunity Threshold and we’ll see an inexorable decline in COVID-19 activity here. Full FDA approval will come for Moderna and Pfizer in late summer or early fall. The first “booster” will come out shortly after approval. Regardless of how many get it (and I think it’s safe to say 50% or better will get it), COVID-19 will continue its decline. The media will report every minor outbreak as if it were the end of the world. By the end of this year, they’ll be reporting on individual cases, probably with personal profiles of the affected, trying to drum up some fear, but I don’t think most will care.
In short, this thing is on its way out. Nobody should be worried about it at this point, unless you’re in a very vulnerable group. If you are, take sensible precautions. Don’t let it dominate your life. Pretty soon it’ll be too rare to care about at all.
why should anyone believe anything you say when you refuse to heed the advice of your own tagline???...

You have proven yourself to be a copy paste king again. Copying and pasting the same thing over and over, never adding anything to any discussion.
That’s partially because the disease isn’t finished yet and partially thanks to President Trump’s vaccine program.
President Trump himself stated multiple times that the vaccines will “save millions”. His own words.
Too bad we still don’t get the proper numbers. It would be nice to know out of the 600+ how many actually died from and how many died with.
Die Angst Macht Frei!
you’re the one doing all the copying and pasting...
congratulations...
