A 9 year old paper about a 19 year old disease?

What relevance could that possibly have to events happening today with a different virus and a different vaccine?

You're conflating events from decades ago with events happening right now.

"Assume 150 million in US are vaccinated; 15 million of them could catch the new strain; however, during the J&J vaccine trials conducted during the peak in South Africa, none of those vaccinated that still acquired the virus required hospitalization."

We have no idea whether that percentage holds, but even if it does, that's a 90% drop in risk of infection. That's pretty good. At the start of Operation Warp Speed, we were told that anything over 50% was pretty good for the first available vaccines. 90% would have been beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Boosters being tested right now by Moderna and Pfizer account for the specific mutations in the Indian variant. That efficacy will jump significantly for anyone who gets the booster when it's available in the fall. Seems like we're staying ahead of this thing really well.

The Indian vaccine ‘Covishield’ which is locally manufactured Astra Zeneca is said to be effective against the Indian strain.

When will people wake up to see that this will go on and on and on and on due to the irrational fear that Big Media/”Scientists”/Lefties/Liberals/Democrats spew day after day after day?

Just don’t tell governor Whitmer In Michigan. She recently announced restrictions being lifted and percentages of people with the vaccine, but left the closet there for new variance, or other concerns to revoke that.

Come up with excuses, delay delay, say this:

“My doctor doesn’t want me to get the vaccine because of ( genetic risk factor making me vulnerable to anaphylaxis from one of the ingredients in the shot, or, I had a bad reaction to a previous shot and was warned to wait or not take it, etc etc...)

LIE IF YOU HAVE TO!

THE “JABBER-DONKEYS” ATE THE MEDIA’S LIES AND ENJOY IT, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THE TRUTH ANYWAYS!! NOR DO THEY DESERVE IT EITHER!!!

The article behind the link says that “the most dominant variant in the country is the British variant” (in re. India).

BTW obstinate delusion is how liberals think.

In the context of this conversation, that was just a shitty thing to say. Beware, if you want to start comparing people to liberals, I would make the argument that people that eagerly take an experimental medical procedure at the behest of a government that has admittedly lied to them multiple times and are parroting what the CDC, WHO and a whole host of socialist/globalist "elites" are saying are way closer to acting like liberals than someone that is skeptical of the whole thing.

If you want to take the "vaccine" take it. I don't care. I'm skeptical, and have to wonder about the long term effects. At this point, I'm not taking it. I'm willing to deal with the chances of catching an endemic virus, with a 99.3% survival rate that effects a vast majority of people like the flu. So, leave me alone.
