8 nations graph tells us as of today Jan 26th, how much a failure the vaccines (double & boosters) have been; I/we said this 1 year now; DO NOT TAKE any more vaccine, NO boost; ineffective & harmful
chance OMICRON if healthy, these vaccines have failed & provides no protection and are driving more variants; it is not only high levels of vaccination, it is how AGGRESSIVE and rapid the roll out was
I added Israel to a second graph also.
The problem is Omicron is mild but the numbers game where there is massive infection, we could see (as we are) some increase in hospitalization and death; we also need to contend with some overlap still and residual from more severe Delta. Though reports are that Delta is essentially gone.
I argue (mind you in some deep debate with globe’s top immunologists) that it is not the level of vaccine (%) as much as the aggressiveness and pace of vaccine program; take a close look, it is not only that high levels of vaccine have high levels of infection, but more deeply it is the fast pace of vaccination, massive at once…you would find (I will write more later) that the nations with high vaccine rates yet slower roll out, have better response and lower infection and we are hypothesizing that the persons who are unvaccinated, their innate immune response goes through some ‘learning’ or some ‘training’ (innate antibodies get ‘trained’) as continuously exposed to the infectious pressure and as such are better able to withstand the infectious pressure…we are looking at some data now to develop an explanation. The UK data is likely granular enough to develop this hypothesis with.
An additional issue in trying to explain why there is infection in the vaccinated, surrounds the mounting immune response. The belief is that the vaccinal antibodies are not mature and developed enough and so do not neutralize the virus. These vaccinal antibodies are not strong enough and may bind to the virus’s spike but not neutralize it and also, by vaccinal antibodies binding, it blocks the innate antibodies from binding/neutralizing/sterilizing and as such, the innate antibodies cannot function to sterilize the virus (e.g. prevent infection).
see these 8 nations that are among the highest vaccinated in the world as of yesterday:
NOTE, do not be misled by New Zealand. As Lenny would sing “it aint over till its over”. Did they harm their population locking down too long and too tight?
But would we see these increases in death and hospitalization if people had access to early treatment? I contend these deaths should NOT be blamed on Omicron OR the vaccines. Even if vaccinated, the early treatments work against infection. We are still being denied access.
I’m still a pure blood. So are my husband and kids. Thank you for the early warnings and data so we can make the informed decision to stay that way!
