Somewhere around 30-35 million have gotten the disease and have recovered. A low estimate for the percent of vaccinated is 35%-40%. It is really more like 60%-65%. Young people have a better chance of being killed by swimming or being a pedestrian.
And yes, natural immunity is real, no matter what the idiots pushing the vaccine say. Think about it. The vaccine causes your cells to produce the spike protein. The virus causes your cells to produce the entire virus. Which would offer better immunity?
Follow the science my a#%.
I notice that cases are rising in rural areas.
Rural people are much less likely to have gained natural immunity since they are much, much less exposed than city dwellers. A rural person may cross paths with tens of people in a day while urbanites cross paths with hundreds.
Some parts of cities have very low vaccination rates but aren’t seeing cases rise.
The media, of course, doesn’t note the distinction.
They’re terrible.
I was repeatedly told in early 2020 that I didn’t have COVID, despite being hospitalized twice.
Nasal swab in early April came back negative.
Pulmonologist in late April confirmed COVID scarring all over my lungs.
I second your sentiment...follow the science, my a$$!
“...or being a pedestrian.”
Quite a few times in the past year, I’d be walking down the sidewalk by myself unmasked. Another pedestrian coming toward me (all masked up) would get terrified and step 10 to 15 feet off the sidewalk into the roadway! All to avoid an outdoor 100 millisecond pass-by of another person. Their chance of getting killed in the bike lane or roadway was millions of times higher than getting killed by contacting COVID from me.
People are notorious for being unable to accurately assess extremely small risks.
The ribosomes of the dendrite cells will transcribe the Spike Protein which is broken up and presented on the MHC-1 and MHC-2 complex molecules on the surface of the host cell’s membrane. The Spike Protein is completely contained and no way does it float around in the blood stream. Those who say the Spike Proteins are out of control, don’t know what they are talking about.
Hospitalizations for all those live-and-death patients infected by the COVID-19 are still a maximum effort to keep them alive. That takes some intensive hospital resources that are not free. I would hate to have the hospital bill from a Covid infection and if I knew you, I would ask you to help pay my bill because it was your advice that kept me from getting the vaccine.
The idea that getting infected by Covid-19 will give better immunity than the vaccine suggests it is better to pay the cost of the hospitalization to get immunity than to get a free vaccine. There is no scientific basis for that idea. In fact, with that thinking, I have a bridge in Louisiana to sell you.
>>Somewhere around 30-35 million have gotten the disease and have recovered.
That’s just the official case count. The actual is 3X-4X that. Lots of people got it, had the sniffles for a couple days, got on with life. Never were officially counter.
That’s why we are at herd immunity, that plus the vaccines.
