  1. Vaccinating people in countries that already have high numbers of Covid-19 infection in order to attain herd immunity may be most challenging and costly method especially when other variants of Covid-19 keep popping up.

    Even if the number of people who get completely vaccinated reaches the herd immunity target, the frequent popping of Covid-19 variants would not truly make vaccines effective against all types of Covid-19 viruses. Just note how Israel which is the first country to have reached high numbers of vaccinated people and still is getting very high rate of Covid-19 cases per day relative to its population.

    Perhaps a good analogy of the Covid-19 pandemic is like a fire burning several houses in the middle of a city that is nearby a river; and firetrucks have not yet been invented. As many people were getting water from the river at a distance the fire spread to many other houses, and the fire became hard to contain. Now, the mayor and his people in the government held a meeting. After discussion, they agreed instead to request many people as they could to splash buckets of water on their own houses that are not yet on fire. What then happens next is that this agreement gets carried out, but the houses being burned were then being neglected.

    The houses burning may be like people who contracted Covid-19 who need cure while those houses not burning but being splashed on with buckets of water may be like people who have not contracted Covid-19 and are being vaccinated.

    "There is more need of medicine to cure the infected than prevention of infection of others by means of vaccines."

    It may be of most benefit to all if scientists in pharmaceutical laboratories develop medical treatments in the form of medicines that are inexpensive, easily reproducible, and easily administered to people or patients (no need for syringes).

  2. America will see another surge of COVID cases. With the Delta variant this winter 700,000 Americans may die and we will not reach herd immunity from COVID 19 until 2027.

  3. As many people are likened unto sheep which are corralled into a Pen for confinement, they are more appropriately referred to as a Flock instead of a Herd so, therefore 'Flock Immunity' or even 'Herd Immunity' will only be achieved depending on whether they have been infected with a real Organic Virus and that their Immune Systems are Strong and Healthy enough to provide Immunity, regardless of whether or not they have been injected with an Experimental Synthetic Crystaline Enzyme Elixir containing an Artificial Lipid Nanoparticle!

  4. "The Beast and its sheeple will not reach 'Herd Immunity' nor will they reach 'Herd Mentality' as long as there are still Humans who are able to peer clearly through the wool being pulled over their eyes!"

  5. They're trying to force us to take THE MARK OF THE BEAST and that's why they did the discriminatory schools and business closures and they want to subject our children to mandatory CONTAMINATED TEST SWABS UP THE NOSE every week and a new shot every 6 months for the new variant they create in their laboratories and I Pray Lord Jesus and Father God in heaven please give our people the strength to not take THE MARK OF THE BEAST

  6. The people who took the vaccine shot should continue to wear their mask or 2 until we can figure out what the vaccine is and parents cant be forced to send their children to the Public Schools full of a bunch of Experimental Emergency Vaccine people and schools choice is a human and civil right and so now is the time to roll out the Emergency Schools choice voucher and NOOOO WE WILL NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN ORDER TO ATTEND YOUR SCHOOLS

  7. Have a spare $1? 🙏 Savin' to get a laptop (homejob). No opportunities outside due to constant lockdowns (unlike other countries). 😷 Sorry for this. 😳 I'm not a bad person, just a desperate breadwinner. Lost so much since 2020.

    Off-topic, I know. 😧 I hope you understand the desperation. I know some people need more help than me and my family but I do hope that does not invalidate my cry for help. 😢
    Things are getting worse here. We don't have stimulus checks or anything like USA. So I'm just really doing whatever I can to put food on the table. We may not be killed by the virus but the situation is surely slowly killing us. 😔 Peace be with you. ❤ GOD bless. 🙏

    And to anyone who's also struggling, let's hold on tight. All will soon be well. 🌈🌈🌈🌎🙏❤❤

  8. These crazy past 16 months have put a strain on regular health care, on people their livelihood and on all natural human bevaviour that helps one to stay healthy. It's a crime against humanity. May justice be served eventually. My heart goes out to all who's lives are affected.
    People are getting an increased sense that we are being systematically hypnotized. Moreover, all these absurd measures also awaken people from the intoxication of superficial materialism, and the definition of happiness is rightly called into question. These are times to think about things that really matter. To reflect on existential life questions. And also, especially now that we are being driven apart, on us as a society. What connects and unites us.

  9. 50% of the US still believe the pandemic is a hoax so send their share of the vaccines to the nations of Africa.

    The last thing the world needs is Americans forging vaccination cards considering US pandemic mismanagement.

    A blanket ban on all Americans international travel is required. India have 346,027 less Covid deaths than the US.

  10. The US is finally stepping up to help India? US J&J has had blood clotting issues and accidentally ruined 15M vaccines.

    China has exported vaccines to 69 countries, arranged exports to 43 others including vaccines for Tokyo Olympians.

    US has kept all their vaccines for themselves. US 596,132 UK 127,609 India 250,025 NZ 26 When was America great?

    Not wearing masks are why US Covid deaths is 596,132 while New Zealand is 26 with the last fatality in August last year.

  11. Covid deaths US 596,132 Mexico 218,985 UK 127,609 Canada 24,655 China 4,636 Australia 910 NZ 26 Taiwan 12.

    The educational gap caused by pandemic mismanagement are Trump's legacy affecting the US for years to come.

    There are 18 variants, 11 from the US, 2 from the UK and India and 1 each from South Africa, Brazil, China and France.

    Anti-maskers, Anti-vaxers, MAGATs and QANON are killing Americans. When was America great?

  12. I can't believe technologically why it has be such poor audio quality on her end. Why can't she have a neat microphone? Or is it the connect software that is flawed. All I am hearing is landline audio quality out of her which bothers me

  13. ACTIVE CONTROL of 3 Virus Diffusing Net Gradients through Borders of US, China, Russia, Brazil, India, Germany, Israel in preventing a million more pandemic deaths? [1][2],['in'] May 10, 2021

    TRAVEL PERMITS to 1-locations or islands [List], 3. Minimizing rush to hospitals, 4. Allow moves to islands/rivers/forests/safe-deserts/camping with 100 ft Residential Distancing 5. Provide Free good tents to homeless with, food ordering Max-Stay Outside, enough said prior to [7].

    1) Pandemic Deaths, 2) Deaths/1M, 3) Key Variable Case Fatality Rates, in %,

    are key CONTROL variables in global, national, states, counties, cities, rural districts,
    provinces. IDENTIFY NET Virus Diffusion Directions driven by 3 Border Diffusion Gradients,
    BDG, [LISTS], while new variants cross borders by BDG & vaccines defeat not some, 'in', Id.:

  14. The misleading information here is the premise that “herd immunity” is something actual & real that will fix this problem, instead of recognizing that it is an assumption they have made about the evolutionary limits of how the corona virus operates.

    It’s funny how Pfizer can be called a “repeat offender” for misleading the public about their results by the NIH for years… now that people are scared, the authority wants us to overlook the entire history of the company hurting their customers for profit.

    Trust must be earned.
