So we were told if we got 70% vaccinated we could return to normal. Then it became 90% and boostered. Well, I did all this as part of the Pfizer trial in Savannah.
So tell me how the advice from health experts makes any logical sense:
1) The CDC survival rate for 18 and under is 99.998% - higher than the flu survival rate for this age group (I know - my dentist's 4-year-old daughter died of the flu 10 years ago). They are shown to be poor transmitters of the virus. Yet we're told they need to be vaccinated.
2) The virus primarily kills people 65 and over, yet all of us have to hunker down every time a new variant appears (see Cornell University).
3) Sports leagues made up of healthy young men who are statistically close to zero risk are shutting down.
None of this makes any logical sense. My doctor tells me (and maybe Baron can weigh in) we're going to have wave after wave of variants for years. We cannot keep mitigating for years every time a new variant pops up. That's no way to go about this. And not only that, by now 90% have antibodies (it was 83% back in May), meaning any future variants are likely to be relatively harmless.
Can you make a case we need to keep shutting things down for years, even among the vaccinated? And especially when everyone has made their choice to be vaccinated or not.
