State of the blade:
Although this should not new news, many still think they are protected and not contagious with 2 initial shots. This was true for the vaccinations when delta was not yet so widespread but unfortunately this has changed a lot in the last months.
Also that vaccinated people can often excrete as much or more virus in the short term has still not arrived in the general population. ICU are filling up from week to week with more and more breakthroughs since delta not just in Israel. Vaccinated people are no longer tested and can pass on the virus symptomatically or asymptomatically.
Herd immunity could not be achieved because protection fades quickly. intensive care units are filling up from week to week with more and more breakthroughs since delta. vaccinated people are no longer tested and can pass on the virus symptomatically or asymptomatically.
we could have communicated it better to the people, but who would still get vaccinated? vaccination still seems to protect against severe courses, at least the young ones. as it looks now, the older and risk groups would have to get vaccinated every 3-4 months because of the fast fading. is this an option? maybe it wasn't right to vaccinate all the young healthy people - but it wasn't long ago and we thought this was the only way we could actually protect the old with herd immunity. delta has finally destroyed that. looks like it's over when we've all had covid, and this sucks!
