The natural immunity will most likely also start to kick in at the same time the vaccine starts to begin to have any effect. So the number of new cases will rapidly go down,and of course the government will loudly proclaim that it is because of the wonderful vaccine, and will then call for everyone to take it, " for the greater good." <br /><br />pigpen51Pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01683463718454987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-25085703633696496312020-12-28T05:53:14.813-08:002020-12-28T05:53:14.813-08:00Asymptomatic transmission is a thing, article does...Asymptomatic transmission is a thing, article doesn't say otherwise; it does say that they didn't find any cases of it with this virus as of now. And since the threat of that has been one of the excuses for the bullshit lots of governors and mayors have done, that's pretty big.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-89762138819094715962020-12-27T20:54:28.365-08:002020-12-27T20:54:28.365-08:00Asymptomatic transfer of infections between people...Asymptomatic transfer of infections between people is certainly a reality. <br />Where the hell do you thing the term 'Typhoid Mary' came from. She was a<br />person who had a chronic NONSYMPTOMATIC Typhus infection and was believed<br />to have been responsible for SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE being infected with<br />the disease. It's ALWAYS a possibility that someone can be infected with a<br />virus, have ZERO noticeable symptoms and be capable of infecting others. <br />It's not the MOST prevalent means by which infection spreads but it IS one<br />of the methods that can occur. <br /><br />Conflating the varying vectors of infection<br />as an excuse to justify abuses of freedoms and rights is a totally different<br />issue. Covid 19 has been politicized and weaponized as a tool to be used in<br />the anti freedom campaign the left....and most bureaucrats....constantly wage<br />against us, just like HIV/AIDS was politicized and weaponized as a political <br />club back in the 80's and 90's. The SMALLER issue is the virus....which WILL<br />eventually become a nonissue as EVERYONE will at some point in time either die<br />from it or become immune to it....with many ALREADY being immune. <br /><br />The MUCH bigger issue is the fact that freedom is being destroyed and this virus<br />is just the current excuse.Dannoreply@blogger.com
