Just a very brief posting on something that many of us have anticipated over the past two or three months as it became apparent that 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines would not prove to be effective over the medium-term. Here's the latest from the Times of Israel:
Only time will tell us whether this is due to a new variant, the fact that children down to the age of five years are not yet fully vaccinated or the fact that the current COVID-19 vaccines have a very short effective "shelf life" once they are injected. With Israel being the COVID-19 vaccine "canary in the coal mine", one has to wonder how long it will be before other nations follow the fourth dose protocol.
And, once again, this is what happens when drugs are not fully tested before they are rolled out for public consumption.

I'm curious. I've heard others question the rollout of the vaccines. Should we have collectively waited for more testing? In which case, I would ask about an alternative plan of action. Should we have gone with herd immunity?
ReplyDeleteNatural immunity seems to be a far better solution given that the current vaccines are targeting only a specific spike protein rather than the virus in its entirety. This is what is leading to the growing numbers of breakthrough cases even among the triple vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteSadly, there is just so much disinformation out there that it is REALLY difficult to sort through the nonsense, particularly given the bias of the mainstream media which is either funded by Big Pharma (the United States) through advertising revenue or by governments (Canada).
