More people are vaccinated now than before, and that shows in the decreased number of cases and deaths in 2023 as compared to previous years of the pandemic.

However, the unvaccinated still remain just as vulnerable to illness, long-term health impairments, and death if they catch Covid. Since the number of vaccinated is still far short of the number needed to reach herd immunity, physical measures such as masking and social distancing are still needed.

Some 81% of the population has received at least one dose of Covid vaccine, and 70% are considered fully vaccinated. However, immunity against coronaviruses only lasts for a few months. In addition, the immunity from the original virus might not work very well against newer circulating strains. For the best protection, therefore, it is a good idea to get boosted with the newest vaccine. People have not been as diligent about getting the newest vaccine, in part because they don’t hear about Covid in the news as much and think it is no longer a problem.

Until at least 95% of the population realizes that the pandemic is still a problem and gets the latest updated vaccine formulation, the physical measures will have to stay in place. (95% need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity.)

You sure do like pushing the fake vaccine even after all the real evidence has been brought out proving it is neither safe nor effective. So I only have one question:

Why should a 63 yr old person like me that almost died from the Hong Kong Flu in 1969 and has NEVER had any Flu type virus since nor the common cold?

Before you answer, know this. I actively got close to as many sick people that had the Fauci Flu as I could to demonstrate that it would have zero effect on me, and last week my wife and I both tired it again with a family member that was sick, even though he has taken the fake vaccine and all the boosters, yet he gets sick every 6 months from the Fauci Flu.

And yet ironically, the vaxx lasts longer than your conversion from ex-Dem.
