Former CDC director predicts gloomy COVID future: ‘We’re in for a rough couple of months’ (Dr. Robert Redfield)

ROBERT REDFIELD: We're clearly going to be in for a tough couple -- I think -- a couple of months with the omicron variant coming, which is much more transmissible, replicates at a higher rate. So I just think trying to get people vaccinated, maintaining their vaccine status, getting boosted and then trying to bring in different mitigation steps, which masking is critical. The other one that I think is underutilized is to take advantage of routine testing in these circumstances where people are actually tested, say, once or twice a week, so you can understand who is silently infected and get them out of the transmission pool…

The reality is that this virus, when you get naturally infected with it, you don't develop long-term immunity. And once that was figured out, one could anticipate when you get vaccinated, you're not going to develop long-term immunity. So the challenge that we have is that this issue that some people felt early on that once we got to some threshold of immunity and they called it herd immunity, that we could get this behind us. The reality is that herd immunity is not operational for this virus and that we're going to continue to have a group of individuals that are susceptible. They get infected, they get vaccinated. The vaccine then wears off. It wanes. They either need to get re-vaccinated or they become susceptible or if they're naturally infected, that immunity wears off and they either need to get vaccinated or they become susceptible.

So this is going to be a real challenge for the next several years while we try to maintain the population so that the population is protected. And the strength of that protection is going to be recurrent vaccination.

TLDR; jab, jab, jab, jab . . . .

Another county heard from.
This guy went before Congress with a blue medical mask in hand and swore it was the best protection from Covid.

[DSH]

Another effing clown that Trump should have kicked to the curb from the very start. Fauci, Birx, and Redfield. Appalling.

Two years of “The sky is falling...the sky is falling.” Give it up already!!

‘We’re in for a rough couple of months’

The media will make sure of that.

[wetgundog]

The masks do not work, Period. The “vaccines” have poor efficacy over six months (that’s 180 days, folks).

Just the FACTS, ma’am.

[God luvs America]

Rise in cases in blue northeast states = we’re in for a rough couple months.

Rise in cases in red Florida= “if the governor won’t help he should get out of the way!!!”

Funny how that happens.

[Jeff Chandler]

if they're naturally infected, that immunity wears off

Based upon which double blind scientific studies?

[Shady]

I just looked on my electronic “papers..” I am pond scum on 4/25/21. I got the freaking jabs in February, WTF? (Had to, Fire Dept.)

Now, if I were a Democrat dependent on terrifying my voter base into obedience, this is exactly the sort of fairy tale I would concoct...

[damper99]

Am I to understand the vaccine is both ineffective against the virus and effective for the vaccine companies’ profits?

[The Duke]

I crap bigger than “omicron”.

[Tellurian]

For decades the holy grail of immunologists has been a cure for the common cold (which is often a Corona virus), because a cure would make them million$. It's never been found, apparently because it mutates right out from under any cure they thought they'd found.

They seem to have decided that since they can't cure it and can't reap the profits from a real cure, they're going to pretend they have one. That their "cure" has to be repeatedly boo$ted is icing on the cake, and that their "cure" creates ailments that their other pharmaceutical products will treat (and not cure) is a hugely satisfying proxy to that holy grail they sought.

The pharmaceutical industry must be all smiles for Dr. FauChi'nas new baby. Smiling all the way to the bank, but, out of guilt, wearing a mask to hide it.

[eyedigress]

He says the population must be maintained.

There you go.

The left couldn’t care less. Get the jab or go on welfare, right DR?

Companies all over the place are saying, nah.... some judge in Ga saved everybody.

80% of my district was walking. We do Low, Medium and High Voltage infrastructure.

Good luck with your vaxxed new hires, libtards from hell.

Sigma variant
Tau variant

midterm wipeout!!!

[lizma2]

I don't think it's working.

I live and work in the DC area. People I meet at work, who say things that makes me think they are Dims, are getting p.o.ed over this Covid stuff.

I'll ask them if they have been vaccinated and tell them I have been vaccinated. Then I ask them if they are comfortable with taking off their masks 90% immediaitely rip it off and go on an anti-mandate tirades

This is going to backfire on the Dims

But we have got to get our butts in gear. We need poll watchers up the wazoo. The Rats are going to cheat on steroids.

And then some.

‘We’re in for a rough couple of months’

Flu season. Happens every year.

That’s about how long they think it will take to pass the fund worldwide totalitarian government bill.
