Thanks for the summary. I concur with your analysis.
I would only add that they economic and social cost of getting sick is what causes quarantines and business shutdowns. Don’t get me wrong, hospitalization and treatment until death are super expensive. However, if public policy is to vaccinate everyone to restart the economy that is a false premise that will not accomplish its purpose.

As somebody else upthread posted, we don’t know how many of these “Cases” are actually people who are symptomatic. With all the testing going on, it could be that most are mild or asymptomatic cases and people will only miss a few days of work while they recuperate at home. So maybe mass vaccination WILL accomplish its goal — reduce hospital loads, get people recovering at home (if they have symptoms), and get them back to work. What do you think?
Big woop. There is a 99% chance of surviving it.
Well, between this and 11 stents in my 63-year-old heart, I think I’ll pass on the booster...
# Agreed. This “case” measurement is just nuts. Hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths are what really matter.
ICU admissions matter less than one would ordinarily think, since the big push is to garner the money from ICU beds
I’ve been tracking that for a while. In Idaho (1.8 million population), 79 people have died of COVID under age 50! Only SEVENTY NINE! And 214 under age 60. These are “COVID-Related Deaths,” too.
Isn’t it remarkable how incurious the press and medical establishment is on these topics? Where are the preliminary papers examining these issues? Nothing but dead silence.
I take this to mean that if you’re between 40 and 79 and double-vaccinated, you sure as hell better start on Ivermectin.
Ditto. I would think stents and blood clots are not exactly compatible.
Silly!
Must be the potatoes.

What I think is that the way we treat someone with Covid is to isolate them for many days along with their family and to force the business where they work to get "sanitized and cleaned." What the study implies is that the Covid Alpha vaccine based on DNA mapping from late 2019, is not that effective at preventing catching Covid Delta. From what I have read Covid Delta has a higher virus loading on patients who test positive than Covid Alpha did.
So the question is what social good will happen if mass vaccination is forced. Well deaths and hospitalizations from Covid Delta will go down dramatically. Some medical side effects from the vaccines will go up. The number of people coming down with Covid Delta will not change by much and so the impact on business disruption will not be greatly improved.
Right now mass vaccination is being pushed for several reasons, but mostly not the real reasons. Where I live, we are being told that wearing masks and forcing people to get vaccinated is to prevent un-vaccinated from giving the vaccinated Covid Delta. For the vaccinated, wearing masks will help (a little) from them getting large viral loads of Covid Delta, no matter the vaccine status of the carrier. For the Vaccinated, forcing the un-vaccinated to get vaccinated will not keep them from catching Covid Delta.
Most of the public policy justification on mass vaccination is a lie. If it was that hospitals are overwhelmed, then it might be true. But in the past, when hospitals ran short of beds, the National Guard set up field hospitals in sports fields and Navy Hospital ships were sent to hot spot areas. There is no talk of that, it is just force people to get vaccinated or loose their jobs.
Any yes, I choose to get the Moderna vaccine as soon as I could, because it was so effective against Covid Alpha. Any friends I have, I would advise them to get the vaccine designed to fight Covid-Alpha, because it would reduce their chance of dying or being hospitalized by Covid Delta. I would not lie to the and tell them it would help prevent them from getting Covid Delta.

There’s talk of re-opening field hospitals here in North Idaho again.
Mandated vaccinations, will reduce the number of Covid Delta patients needing hospital and ICU care. So I can understand why some in Idaho may favor mandated vaccinations.
However, it will not keep keep the vaccinated from getting Covid Delta. And perhaps more concerning, is that there are some medical professionals who will leave the profession, rather than get vaccinated, which also will cause a shortage of staffed hospital beds & ICU capability.
