My point being tens of thousands of Californians have moved to Texas as well as Seatte and Oregon. You already see the mess they made out of Seattle and Oregon so, my guess is Ex-Californians now in Texas supported this all green energy BS which resulted in this huge mess. And if you have California politicians among them, you know they would run for public office in Texas as well.
that is anecdotal... do you have proof of the 90 percent number or not. And besides... I am for freedom... if businesses wish to require masks great for now. People and business can choose. The point I have made and will continue to monitor is that your fear mongering and predictions have failed.... dramatically... so far. [/QUOTE]
Gov Abbott issues an executive order banning "vaccine passports" in the state, arguing that rewarding those who have taken steps to be safe and keep others safe violates the Constitutional rights of other Texans to be morons. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issues order prohibiting 'vaccine passports' https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...tt-issues-order-prohibiting-vaccine-passports
Amen... We learned yesterday or the day before Fauci said the Federal Govt won't mandate vaccine passports either.
LOL But in India, its religious gatherings despite massive compliance that is causing the case rise. In Texas however, it is "somewhat" mask compliance causing the decline. maybe the Texans don't go to religious events. What a sham you are.
Gov. Abbott with more false claims and demonstrating he does not understand the basics of science any better than he understands electricity distribution. Gov. Greg Abbott's claim that Texas is 'very close' to herd immunity is not 'even close' to being true, says expert https://www.businessinsider.com/experts-dismissed-gov-abbott-herd-immunity-claim-2021-4 Gov. Greg Abbott claimed the state of Texas is "very close" to herd immunity. The claim has been disputed by experts. "There is no way on God's green earth that Texas is anywhere even close to herd immunity," an epidemiologist told the New York Times. Gov. Greg Abbott's claim that the state of Texas is "very close" to herd immunity has been dismissed by a leading expert, who said there was "no way on God's green earth that Texas is anywhere even close to herd immunity." Abbott told Fox News on Sunday that: "When you add all the number of vaccinations that have taken place, as well as all of the acquired immunity from all of the Texans who have been exposed and recovered from COVID-19, it means very simply it's a whole lot more difficult for COVID-19 to be spreading to other people in the state of Texas. "More than 70% of our seniors have received a vaccine shot. More than 50% of those who are 60 to 65 have received a vaccine shot. I don't know what herd immunity is but when you add that to acquired immunity, it looks like that could be very close to herd immunity," he said. Herd immunity is when enough people in a population have immunity, either through vaccination or from past infection, to stop a disease from spreading uncontrollably. Scientists are unsure what percentage of a population needs to be immune from COVID-19, but many say it is likely to be 70% above or higher,the Associated Press reported. Dr. Antony Fauci, the leading US infectious diseases expert, predicted in December that the herd immunity figure could even be as high as 85% for coronavirus. The emergence of new, more infectious could also complicate attempts to determine herd immunity threshold. However, even by Gov. Abbott's terms, Texas does not appear to be "very close" to herd immunity. Just 19% of Texans have received 2 shots of a coronavirus vaccination, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures cited by The Washington Post. Further figures cited by the Post which were compiled by Columbia University predicted that, by January, a total of 31% of Texans had contracted the virus. That could mean that at least 50% of Texans have immunity to COVID-19 but appears to fall well short of herd immunity. Michael Osterholm, a leading epidemiologist told the New York Times on Sunday of Abbott's claim: "There is no way on God's green earth that Texas is anywhere even close to herd immunity." He added: "Look no further than Michigan and Minnesota, which have much higher rates of vaccination than Texas. And we're already seeing widespread transmission."
In short your "experts" are lying to you... If they were to read the studies regarding vaccines and spreads... they would have read that many have said that the vaccinated spread less because they are less sick and infectious spread for shorter periods of time. This same logic applies to the healthy non vaccinated. They get less sick and they spread for shorter periods of time. So herd immunity will come in at much lower levels than the moron Fauci... or you comprehend The math changes from the vaccinated spread rate... Because those models treat everybody as an equal potential spreader. That is not how it works in real life. I have presented to you many studies on that.
Look at the charts for Texas... it even surprised me... given the UK variant. You have been massively stupid and wrong... and so have your experts. So they are either lying about the stats... or they must be close to herd immunity with their current virus and variant levels. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/
its still improving in texas... natural and vaccine immunity working together to create herd immunity? even from the current variants? we will see... but it is looking strong for the no lockdown let the low risk live concept... right now. Imagine combining strong protection for the high risk and letting the low risk live... concept.... We might be done with Covid by now. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/
