The study CONCLUDED in March of 2021.
So if we were really concerned about preventing the breakdown of the health care system and preventing excessive deaths & sickness, public messaging should have strongly focused on this.
But instead, public health and the general public was dogmatic about needing 80%+ overall vaccination rates, because we were tricked and lied into believing that if you got vaccinated, you reduced the risk of spread, when reducing the spread should have been less important than getting at risk people vaccinated.
To this day that lie still exists in many scenarios.
Like unvaccinated people not being able to travel to the US. |
Unfortunately the people who have an underlying health condition make up a massive percentage of the population.
