I calculated, graphed, if vaccines can produce herd immunity (HI) & Pfizer needs 75% population coverage (85% for UK variant) AZ needs 100%. Pfizer+AZ planned combination needs 90% coverage. Get vaccinated please. But how do we protect if we don't get 90% coverage?

It’s unlikely we’ll reach 90 percent. Logistics and conspiratorial moronics will put a stop to it. 😔 #auspol2021 #Covid_19 #CovidVic #vaccine #SARSCoV2

Sarin keksinnöstä ovat iloinneet kanssamme niin asiantuntijat kuin media! Opetushoitajana @helsinginsote työskentelevä Sari Roos keksi, miten Pfizer-Biontechin koronarokotteista saadaan 5 annoksen sijaan 7. Katso Sarin video #koronarokote #koronafi👉 dreambroker.com/channel/fic9…

How about you get stuffed. I’m not putting that dodgy untested shit in my body, nor my kids bodies.

Children not being vaccinated, how can we reach 90%?

How can you graph this? The % you are quoting is for protection against disease, not transmission. We only have transmission reduction evidence for Astra, and even that is pre print
Replying to @MarylouiseMcla1 @Raf_Epstein
We don’t have to eliminate this virus, if it’s mainly asymptomatic with a vaccine or just mild.

You don't need herd immunity, you just need to get deaths down to an acceptable level. Given flu kills about 10000 in a typical winter, I'd say that is about 3000 per month or 100 a day.

What R0 did you use as your cut off point, please?
Replying to @MarylouiseMcla1
1/3 I know that textbooks give 1 - 1/R0 as the number (actually the proportion of the population) needed to vaccinate. IMHO that does not always apply - eg when transmission is affected by individual behaviour, as it is with Covid-19.

I wish you wouldn't be so alarmist. If 10% of the population were not vaccinated against Covid - their chance of getting Covid is significantly reduced as is their chance to spread it & if they are not among the vulnerable, their chance of death from Covid approaches zero.
