Looks like everyone\'s going to get it, eventually, vaccinated
or not - just reduced mortality amongst the vaccinated.
Past sero-immunity studies suggest that a 30% detection record
could indicate widespread (>80%) penetration in a population.
It appears that covid infection fatality rates below 3ppm/day are
to be considered as acceptible norms, post pandemic, for
re-establishing unrestricted activity within political borders.
Pfizer is recommending a 4th vaccine dose to maintain reduced
mortality rates, based on their Israeli trials. There is no news
w/r to omicron-specific vaccine tests. Israeli vaccination rates
have stalled at 66% for half a year, suggesting that this may be
part of their testing protocol.
Although omicron is considered less fatal than earlier variants,
the US short-term fatality rate was double the long-term
average of record until late April \'22.
As detection levels rise above 15% of the total population ( >30%
in some cases), and assymptomatic infection levels at >3:1, it
may become safe to assume that very large levels of a population
have \'had\' covid19 and that present infections are caused by
variants that are not suppressed by current vaccination efforts.
Without an accompanying mortality, these new variants are
unconvincing candidates for further vaccination development.
Doses applied in Israel, Chile and other highly vaccinated countries
appear to be providing 3rd dose booster reinforcement, without
contributing to completed vaccinations.
Full vaccination levels are apparently stalled around 60% in the US
and other regions with signifigant reactionary movements.
The increased transmissibility of omicron variants have contributed
to the rise in detections, world-wide, after Nov 2021. So far, no
increase in mortality is associated with this variant.
Chile participated in Phase 3 trials for AstraZeneca,
Johnson & Johnson, Sinovac and CanSino. Chile has contracts
with AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Sinovac.
Sinovac is their regular supplier of seasonal flu vaccine.
Sinovac\'s \'CoronaVac\' vaccine does not require sub-zero storage
temperatures. About 60% of Chile\'s contracted 80 million doses
are from Sinovac.
Chile maintains a Public Health service database that includes
regular vaccination scheduling. Using these resources alone
allowed vaccination rates as high as 1 million doses per week
to be delivered as early as mid-February. Approval of vaccine
use was based on published Phase 1 and Phase 2 reporting.
Reducing detections and fatalities in unvaccinated India/Nepal
seem to indicate reducing virulence for the delta variant.
Detection rates in S.Africa had also turned around until the
recent influences of the omicron variant. So far there is no
corresponding increase in fatalities.
