The Israeli government says its analysis has shown the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine appears to be less effective against infections caused by the Delta variant compared to other strains of Covid-19.

With the best vaccine so far, Pfizer, falling so far in efficacy against the Delta India Bravo (my politically incorrect name for it) Scariant, I am afraid that herd immunity is a pipe dream.

Herd immunity - no. Yearly herd vaccinations - yes.

And now there's the Lambda variant:

What is the Lambda Covid variant?

A NEW coronavirus variant that experts say is “deadlier” than the Delta strain has already ripped through 30 countries. But what is the Lambda variant and where was it first discovered?…

It might just be time to open everything up and let the chips fall where they may. Nah, not gonna happen.

That's pretty much what my country, the UK, is going to be doing in less than 2 weeks despite rising infections, so we can watch how that works.

It has become the only logical thing to do. Time to move on and natural selection will carry on from there. Wanna wear a mask for years to come? Go ahead.

I have grave doubts the DR will even relax curfews over the coming months. Different strokes ... Let us see what the allegedly to be massive protests in Santo Trafficjam brings.

I was always on that side since I knew from day one that CV19 is here, there, and everywhere to stay. Such as it is with pandemics past, present and future.

I only reported facts, which people sometimes interpret as opinions. That is a fault in others ability to analyze situations.

Ask that about lambda. and the next Greek letter Scariant on into infinity...

You don't report facts! One example is you say the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab. That is pure speculation. Once again I say you are no expert, just an expat living in the DR.

To me, it is a fact where the virus escaped from.

I'm not sure if this is the best thread for this, but this is a very interesting video on the control of information and how certain agendas determine censorship etc.

This is even more in line with the topic, talking about vaccines, starting at 1 hour 52 minutes in, more or less. Really thoughtful discussions.

At least 100 of 613 US athletes unvaccinated as Tokyo Olympics begin​

• USOPC is ‘quite happy’ with number of vaccinated athletes
• Vaccination is not required for athletes competing at Games

About 100 of the 613 US athletes arriving in Tokyo for the Olympics are unvaccinated, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s medical chief said hours before Friday night’s opening ceremony.

Medical director Jonathan Finnoff said 567 of the American athletes had filled out their health histories as they prepared for the trip, and estimated 83% had replied they were vaccinated.

“Eighty-three percent is actually a substantial number and we’re quite happy with it,” Finnoff said.
Nationally, 56.3% of Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While there is discussion about the efficacy of vaccines,
There is not much discussion of No vaccinations.
Obviously most will survive this form of Russian Roulette.

Risk of COVID spread is 'zero', IOC chief says, amid rising cases.​

TOKYO, July 15 (Reuters) - International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said on Thursday there was "zero" risk of Games participants infecting Japanese residents with COVID-19, as cases hit a six-month high in the host city.
