Dear Leader says.......''Keep your COVID-19 to yourself , dare not bring it to my hotels.'' Trump hotels impose mask mandates as Republicans rail against them At least two of former President Donald Trump's properties have imposed mask mandates, even as GOP governors and Republicans in Congress rail against such requirements.
We just implicitly learned from GWB's denial article... the following... A vaccine which creates a lot of antibodies which then fade away...creates millions of hosts which are giving covid an unnaturally target rich environment to create killer viruses. Read... what his "expert' said... but also consider exactly why he said it the way he did. This is a Fauci non denial denial... by creating a scenario which is not accurate. WE KNOW COVID VACCINES CREATE FADING ANTIBODIES IN THE HIGH RISK SOME OF WHOM WILL NOT HAVE THE KILLER T CELLS AND OTHER IMMUNE RESPONSE TO GO IN AND CLEAR THE INFECTED CELLS. WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THIS EXPERT DISCUSSES. "This is not complete nonsense. I reached out to Dr. Paul Offit, a paediatrician specialized in vaccines and immunology and the co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine, to get his thoughts on whether antibiotic resistance and vaccine-associated immune escape are indeed comparable. “In a sense it is, but he misses the main point,” Dr. Offit told me. A vaccine shows your body an inert part of the virus so that it can make neutralizing antibodies against it. If the body ends up making low levels of these antibodies, i.e. not enough to swiftly kill the virus when you catch it, this could allow the virus to stick around in your body for a little bit and make copies of itself. Some of these copies may by chance have the right kinds of errors in their genetic code to become variants of concern, although the mutation rate of this coronavirus is quite low. “But if you have a vaccine that results in high levels of neutralizing antibodies, that’s not a way to create variants,” he continued. To use an analogy, if a gaggle of invaders is coming but you have only managed to round up a few soldiers, be prepared for a long siege during which the enemy might learn a thing or two about your defences and adapt. But if you have a full and overpowering army at your command, the invaders won’t stick around for long. So the question becomes: do the COVID-19 vaccines give us low or high levels of neutralizing antibodies?"

Now instead of being able to stop this pandemic from risking up out of a fallow state after the pandemic... with vaccines and herd immunity.. We now have the potential for a race in which you pit the high risk vaccinated weakened immune systems variant factories vs. our vaccines manufacturers continually having to with new successful boosters for the high risk ... and they have to be able to do it without destroying the immune systems of the healthy in the process.
nonsense which noble prize winners are warning you about. you are a vaccine nazi. and the risk is obvious to anyone with a brain. ( note I said risk ) Continually giving people with unhealthy immune systems boosters for antibody creation (which fade) and might not work for new variants... Could turn into a disaster including an ADE disaster. Lets just hope we don't destroy the healthy in the process or create a super variant.
They probably did the marketing math and saw that their best paying clients are face mask wearers. Let us see how long it takes for them to ask for proof of vaccination or recent negative covid test as entry into their hotels. Yet, the face mask wear requirement should be enough to kick start their declining clientele. wrbtrader
Are we creating ideal conditions for new coronavirus variants? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/ar...ideal-conditions-for-new-coronavirus-variants To relax COVID-19 restrictions when large numbers of individuals remain unvaccinated is inherently risky, biologists have warned. They argue that it will promote the evolution of new strains that are more transmissible and more likely to evade the protection from current vaccines. Removing restrictions when children and other vulnerable groups are unvaccinated may inadvertently give rise to more infectious and possibly more dangerous variants. The authors of the new article recommend that measures such as the mandatory wearing of face masks remain in place until most of the adult population is vaccinated. They add that the benefits of vaccinating children may now outweigh the risks. We are in an evolutionary “arms race” with SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19, biologists at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom have warned. Writing in the journal Virulence, they say that relaxing control measures while the majority of the world’s population remains unvaccinated risks the evolution of more transmissible, more virulent variants. These variants may be more dangerous for children and certain vulnerable groups, such as transplant patients with compromised immune systems, they argue. They may also escape the protection afforded by existing vaccines. Even in countries where vaccination has reduced the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, high case numbers and large numbers of unvaccinated individuals provide a mixing vessel in which new variants can emerge. “Relaxing restrictions boosts transmission and allows the virus population to expand, which enhances its adaptive evolutionary potential and increases the risk of vaccine resistant strains emerging by a process known as antigenic drift,” they write. Antigenic driftTrusted Source refers to the continual random mutations in a virus’s genome that change the proteins on the virus particle’s surface. These are the foreign proteins, or “antigens,” that antibodies recognize. For SARS-CoV-2, the most important is the spike protein that allows the virus to invade cells. Every change in this protein has the potential to interfere with the immune system’s ability to recognize and disrupt the virus, which will reduce the protection provided by a past infection or vaccination. Like repeatedly rolling dice, a larger number of individuals who have had the virus are more likely to generate a mutation that allows it to evade its future hosts’ immune defenses. Increasingly transmissible variants By the same token, a greater number of cases is also more likely to lead to changes that allow a variant to spread more easily, giving it a competitive edge over all the other strains. The authors point out that during the course of the pandemic, a succession of more transmissible variants have become the dominant strains within populations. “My main concern is about the high case numbers right now,” said co-lead author Dr. Cock Van Oosterhout, Ph.D., who is a professor of evolutionary genetics at the University of East Anglia. “Because these remain high, this allows for continued evolution of [the] virus, and that comes at a risk, including the evolution of more virulent variants, or variants that can escape the vaccine,” he told Medical News Today. He pointed out that although vaccines have reduced the COVID-19 mortality rate in some countries, there remain many clinically vulnerable people at high risk of severe disease or even death if they contract the disease. “This shows we still have a battle on our hands,” he said. “For that reason, we must not let our guard down in the middle of a co-evolutionary arms race.” In their article, the scientists write: “Children, the clinically extremely vulnerable, such as patients on immunosuppressants, and those who choose not to be vaccinated (or are unable to receive a vaccine) are all placed at an increased risk when relaxing COVID-19 restrictions.” They recommend that control measures such as the mandatory wearing of face masks in indoor public places remain in place until most of the population has received a vaccine. Risks for unvaccinated children In addition, the authors believe that relaxing restrictions while children are unvaccinated risks inadvertently promoting the evolution of variants that are better able to infect this group. This is because natural selection will favor the spread of variants through populations that are not protected by vaccination. “[T]he risks of a more virulent strain spreading into an under-vaccinated population could be more severe. In other words, a policy of not vaccinating children in an otherwise largely vaccinated population could place them at increased risk,” they argue. The scientists conclude: “Slowing down the rate of virus evolution requires us to act fast and decisively, reducing the number of [people with the infection] through the use of vaccines, in combination with other public health policies. […] Relaxing these measures now would be letting our guard down in the middle of the battle, and it would place [us] at a significant disadvantage in the arms race with the virus.” Misplaced optimism In the U.K., following an exponential rise in cases of the Delta variant in July 2021, case numbers have begun to fall in recent days. This has led to optimism in the British press that the fight against COVID-19 is all but over. “Our point though is that unfortunately the virus isn’t a stationary target, it is adapting, producing new variants [that] are better able to transmit in the spaces left available to it,” said co-lead author Dr. Kevin Tyler, Ph.D., of Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in St. Paul. “Based on what has happened so far and the huge amount of virus transmission worldwide, it is unlikely that this Delta will be the last wave,” he told MNT. “We should be proactive in keeping transmission rates low with all means available and anticipate new waves better able to transmit through unvaccinated and partially immune populations,” he added.
