What a bottom feeding POS.

Candace Owens makes Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones look like Albert Einstein.
I can’t watch Tucker Carlson without laughing and remembering how Jon Stewart made him look like an absolute ****ing joke.Quote:

Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe

Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon, the term “herd immunity” came to signify the endgame: the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we could be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives.
Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.
Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers.
How much smaller is uncertain and depends in part on how much of the nation, and the world, becomes vaccinated and how the coronavirus evolves. It is already clear, however, that the virus is changing too quickly, new variants are spreading too easily and vaccination is proceeding too slowly for herd immunity to be within reach anytime soon.
Continued immunizations, especially for people at highest risk because of age, exposure or health status, will be crucial to limiting the severity of outbreaks, if not their frequency, experts believe.
Damn....and the most knowledgeable wannabe epidemiologist I know had just told me that we already reached herd immunity. How could someone so otherworldly intelligent make an error such as that?
This is what happens when vaccinations are left as optional and we have an entire political party that wants to pretend like vaccines are going to infect us all with 5G and let Bill Gates know when and where you take a ****.Quote:

You gotta understand what you're reading.

No, even if every american was forced to get a vaccine today there are already variant strains that are most likely going to linger and evolve into even more variant strains.Quote:

Same way, we are in process of at least gaining SOME immunity so as not to allow it to spread like wildfire and overwhelm the system.
If we were able to develop a vaccines within days, and last January we forced vaccine on everyone, then maybe we could have actually eradicated it, but now a year later that's not really an option anymore since there are now multiple strains.

If people took the vaccines and followed guidelines, there literally wouldn’t be variants. But anti-vaxxers and other ridiculous morons are the reasons that the variants are able to happen.Quote:

This is basically the problem we have with guns and a bunch of other things. An obvious solution but no collective concern to implement the obvious solution.Quote:

And if everyone would get the vaccine, we would be able to prevent more variants.Quote:

I do agree that the more vaccinated people we have, the better off everyone will be.
