We don’t Need Vaccines to end the Lockdown, Just Common Sense

/in /by

I was reading the newspaper this morning.  People were writing letters to the editor asking why the United States is opening up while Canada is going the other direction.  The explanation for our continued lockdowns was that the US has vaccinated more people than Canada.  Why is there always an excuse not to open?  Why can’t we acknowledge the reasons to open are far more important than the reasons to stay closed?

It is true that due to the incompetence of our Prime Moron Canada lags behind most western nations in Vaccinations.  There is one nation that we are beating however.  Here is how our vaccination program looks compared to Sweden.

Now here is what Sweden looks like locked down because of lack of Vaccines.

I would say the argument that we cannot open without vaccinating more people is pretty silly, wouldn’t you?

Why does opening depend on vaccinating a high percentage of people who are already naturally immune?  We know from the Diamond Princess Cruise ship that 83% of people in close contact with ill Passengers ill did not get sick.  Contact tracing shows that 82% of the time when people isolate at home they do not transmit the virus to other members of their household.  Now we have this study published in January.

81% of people who had not been exposed already had some or all of the different T cells necessary to provide COVID immunity.  83, 82, 81 it is remarkable how many times we land back on that 80% range for natural immunity.  Why on earth do we need to stay in lockdown until 75% have been vaccinated for a virus 80% are already immune to?

We need to wake up.  This has nothing to do with a virus.  At least this man gets it.
