Current vaccines won’t stop spread…
Israel is 80% vaccinated. Their infection rate has never been higher…
https://i.ibb.co/DCSw7XR/E7-F2-CDC7-...CF77987963.jpg Not very many dying, but the virus continues to spread. https://i.ibb.co/8006MRB/E6987-D7-F-...0-B79-E751.jpg |
Current vaccines won't stop the spread, as long as Anti-Va is a thing.

SARS-CoV-2 is on its way to becoming endemic.
Nobody would particularly care about case numbers if severe disease was rare...as it certainly appears to be in highly-vaccinated Israel. Amazing what a novel virus no longer being novel to your immune system can do for outcomes. |

You seriously think the US is going to get higher than 80% immunized? Highest in the world is only 83% in Malta.
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/vaccines/international And it'll need to go at least 95% immunity to get to 'herd immunity' at its present contagious level. |

Is that immunized or total of immunized plus un-immunized but have had the virus?

The coronavirus is too slippery to ever achieve a non-endemic state.
Also after enough people have been exposed to one or more strains of covid, natural immunity will play a big role in severity. Except for an unlikely few who are genetically very susceptible, whose genes will be de-selected from the species (although vaccination can mitigate that too). |

Indeed. But like the four other commonly circulating coronaviruses (229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1), and the 200+ Other viruses ( rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, adenoviruses - heck even some enteroviruses) that commonly cause colds, even a cold will kill you if you are old with comorbidities, which is exactly where the overwhelming number of these fatalities are coming from. And at the other end - those under 18 who make up 22.5% of the population are only accounting for 35/67,187 of the mortality.
