Honestly, if you believe this new narrative that the vaccines only last months and natural immunity fades fast I agree 100%. If that’s the case we just need to learn to live with Covid and as long as hospitals aren’t overrun we’re good. I don’t believe that’s reality at all, but if it is then yes there’s little point in any of it.
Like many you ignore the white elephant in the room. Its not about mitigations for those vaccinated, it's about those not vaccinated. The attitude of "since I'm vaccinated I don't care" doesn't help.
Yes but they are "spreaders".
That was a great article, thanks for sharing! I guess I have double the protection now, vaccinated AND naturally immune from covid since I had it in JanuaryAhhh, you’re ever the pessimist. So far there is no concrete evidence that natural or vaccine based immunity fades that fast. It’s your theory (hope?) that it does but so far in all the actual studies done natural immunity has held for over a year. We are coming up on a full year for the vaccine trial participants and so far there hasn’t been any evidence released showing the vaccine effectiveness has faded. Your narrative now sounds a lot like the Covid denial crowd who said we will never reach herd immunity or have an effective vaccine so we just need to learn to live with the virus. Maybe they were right??? It saddens me to see how many people want to downplay or dismiss the power and effectiveness of these vaccines. It is what it is and it shouldn’t surprise me anymore.
This Is How Long You're Immune to COVID After Recovering, New Study Says
Research has shown that those who survive a brush with COVID-19 can suffer long-lasting effects such as brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. But it turns out there may be a sole potential benefit to having contracted the virus. According to a new study published in the journal JAMA...www.yahoo.com

Is the pandemic will gonna ending soon in USA this year, as the rest pandemic continues for rest of the world?
Why should this be assumed? How does Delta change the physical properties and behavior of respiratory droplets?
How would masks and social distancing not help the spread of Covid?
Sorry but saying the vaccines only last a few months is saying they aren’t effective. The vast majority of Americans have been vaccinated in the last 6 months so if we all need boosters now then the vaccines last less than 6 months.
It’s more contagious because you have about 4 times the viral load.
There is a difference between slowing the spread and being protected at a reasonable enough level to feel safe partaking in normal day to day activities.
For distancing I agree. Unless the variant figured out how to stay airborne longer. With masks there was always a level of virus that got through, but the load was significantly reduced enough to greatly reduce the chance of infection. They were never perfect but if the new variant has a higher viral load they may be even less effective. Not saying masks can’t help, they obviously would be better than no mask.
That’s not what anyone is saying unless I missed a post?
You missed a post. I said if delta is so contagious and rips through the unvaccinated as people have suggested then in 6 months once all kids are approved and vaccinated we would have enough people either vaccinated or naturally immune to reach a high level of overall immunity, maybe even enough for herd immunity. The counter he made is the immunity from the vaccines will have faded by then and natural immunity will too so we will never reach a high enough level of immunity.
