You are correct. But in terms of $$ it was interesting to hear the $600 million value of the 60 million doses which would have to be disposed the other day due to poor QC.
Considering how much pressure the clinic was using to get me to get the jab, I’m sure there’s more than $10 at stake for every shot administered.
Bottom line: The numbers they ignore are the ‘recovered’ (natural immunity). If the shots worked - “if” - at 43% administered 100% I estimate we’re at >80%...by anyone’s measure well past herd immunity.
There should be no one getting sick, or at least be quite rare. Considering what I found out and posted about yesterday, “should” is the key word...
In my county the number of new cases dropped below the threshold to continue mask mandates with the May 10, 2021 report. New cases in a 2 week period dropping below 100 per 100,000 population was the threshold, and they were at 98 in that report.
Since that time the number of new cases have steadily dropped, such that in the last report (June 10) we are at 28 new cases per 100,000 population over a 2 week period.
Given the number vaccinated plus those with natural immunity, this has all the signs of Covid dying out due to herd immunity.
