Cтатья от доктора Dr. Bradly Bundrant:
This is not a pandemic of the unvaccinatedЦитата:
Although the vaccines certainly do help to reduce the chance of symptomatic disease, it seems to be less than a 90% reduction. The reduction in severe disease seems to be closer to 90% than to 100%. Vaccination for COVID appears to make it more likely that the person will be completely asymptomatic, if they become infected. However, we know that they will shed just as much virus, but for a slightly shorter period of time.
Цитата:
Omicron has dozens of different mutations, in a pattern that has not ever been seen before.
Omicron is different, and its differences point up yet another important piece of misinformation. We are told, “Every time COVID is passed from one person to another, there is a chance for mutation.” That is another incorrect and frankly dangerous misunderstanding or falsehood. Almost certainly the collection of mutations seen in Omicron were the result of a long-lasting COVID infection within one person. Very likely this was someone who had some type of immunosuppression, such as HIV, and took one or more COVID vaccines or treatments (possibly convalescent plasma). Each one of these acted as an evolutionary pressure, thinning the viral population so that the only virus remaining after each treatment/vaccine were immune to that vaccine or therapy. Omicron has several mutations that are typical of rapidly spreading variants, and it has a mutation that has not been seen previously in the wild: E484A.
