Just one reason you don’t vaccinate against a respiratory disease mid-pandemic. Stupid fucking morons promoting this are getting what they deserve.
Unvaccinated People Are Increasing the Chances for More Coronavirus Variants — Here’s How https://www.healthline.com/health-n...ances-for-more-coronavirus-variants-heres-how Experts say the number of unvaccinated people in the United States is a key reason coronavirus variants are emerging. They explain that the virus replicates quicker in unvaccinated people, increasing the chance of mutations. They’re concerned that new COVID-19 cases will continue to rise as variants spread and people still refuse to get vaccinated. Chances are, the coronavirus variant known as Epsilon might not be on your radar, but scientists sure are watching it. First discovered in California last December, it’s now spreading in Pakistan. “This is worrisome, as it is more transmissible than original strains of the virus,” said Dr. Purvi Parikh, an allergist and immunologist with the Allergy and Asthma Network in New York City. She added, “there is some early evidence” that the variant could be resistant to the vaccines. So far, scientists in the United States say COVID-19 vaccines seem to be holding up against a new crop of variants that include Gamma, Lambda, Delta Plus, and even the Delta variant that’s responsible for 90 percent of new cases in the country. But some experts are worried the clock is ticking. “It’s perhaps just a matter of time,” said Dr. Michael Saag, a professor of medicine, infectious diseases, and virology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “Let’s say, hypothetically, that a new variant could emerge where we won’t be so fortunate, and the existing vaccines won’t work,” Saag explained to Healthline. “I call that hypothetical variant Omega. That’s the one we’re all fearing. It hasn’t happened yet, and we hope it doesn’t. But the longer this goes on with widespread transmission, the possibility increases with time,” he said. Millions unvaccinated The White House COVID-19 Response Team noted that more than 165 million Americans are fully vaccinated. However, there are still about 90 million who are eligible to be vaccinated but haven’t been. Experts say the uptick in COVID-19 cases is happening largely because of the number of people who remain unvaccinated. “They play a huge role. If everyone is vaccinated, eventually infections drop to zero and so do variants,“ Parikh said. “But if the virus has an easy host, such as an unvaccinated individual, then it is easy for it to mutate into a more contagious and virulent form.” How the virus spreads and changes One of the key characteristics of the coronavirus is the spike protein that allows it to latch onto a host cell, penetrate it, and cause an infection. That spike is what vaccines target to block the virus. In the unvaccinated, however, the virus gets in, hijacks the cell, and turns it into a factory. It then makes thousands of copies of itself. If there’s a copying mistake or error, scientists call that a mutation. Occasionally, a mutation can help the virus get into the body’s cells more easily. When mutations accumulate over time, new variants of a virus strain emerge. The Delta variant has outpaced all its rivals by reproducing itself quicker and in larger numbers. Scientists say that makes it more highly contagious. Another complication has surfaced: Scientists say unvaccinated parents are bringing the virus home to their children. Pediatricians say cases are rising and children’s hospitals are seeing a spike in children needing care. Children under age 12 aren’t currently eligible for a vaccine. And, as schools are opening — some with minimal COVID-19 safety protocols — experts fear it’s only going to get worse. Tough times ahead? A recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll showed that large numbers of unvaccinated people still don’t want the vaccine. Among adults, 35 percent said they probably won’t get vaccinated and 45 percent said they definitely won’t. The poll also showed unvaccinated people have little to no confidence in the vaccines, despite the fact that nearly all COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are now among the unvaccinated. Doctors predict that could mean the current spike in the pandemic will get worse. “I’m worried about the next 3 weeks. The projections I saw toward the end of June are that we would peak around Labor Day at a level two to three times worse than what we saw in January,” Saag said. “We’re entering into a very dark phase,” he added. “We think we’ve been through that before, but I’m pretty confident, unfortunately, that this will be the worst we’ve seen. And we don’t know when it will end.” “We’re screaming from the rafters as best we can to warn people,” said Saag. “These vaccines work extraordinarily well and are as safe as any vaccine we’ve ever seen. I don’t know what more we could look for.”
There are already over a hundred variants. This is how viruses work whether vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Scientists have stated that vaccinated people rarely generate variants. Unvacccinated people are responsible for over 99.9% of COVID variants generated.
Conspiracy theorists like to spread misinformation that Vaccination lowers a person immunity and that then results in the rise of virus mutations (variants)...very false and misinformation. They have used the same error-filled logic on every vaccine in the history of vaccinations. In reality, those that are not vaccinated are the hosts or breathing grounds for mutations (variants) because there's no defense in their body to keep viruses under check. Simply, the viruses picks up little pieces of info (proteins) from the host...resulting in a change in the virus that makes it more difficult for new people to fight off the changed virus regardless if the new people are vaccinated or have natural immunity via a prior infection...resulting in breakthrough infections although the latter less likely (reinfection but it does happen). In immunology...we would joke and call this "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Just remember that viruses can not make their own proteins...they need to get pieces of that from the host that they infect...a host not vaccinated and they love those that travel because travelling allows the virus to become stronger via having access to a more variety of different type of juicy proteins that really help spur variants. Italian Covid meets not vaccinated German Woman. Sexy Covid India meets not vaccinated U.K. English man. South African Covid Red Sonja meets not vaccinated American Businessman. Swedish Olympic Gold Medalist Covid meets not vaccinated Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist in a Japanese sex hotel. I think the next variant will be from the United States or Canada now that the borders are re-opening and in many situations without quarantine upon arrival. wrbtrader
You are wrong, refer to my post here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...for-the-vaccinated.360726/page-5#post-5436744 Vaccination will cause resistance and immune escape variants. Virus cannot mutate and spread if the host dies.
high risk vaccinated people who are sick and symptomatic are high risk for the creation and spread of dangerous variants...
