This confirms Andrew Pollard's statement that there will be no significant herd immunity effect.

Your body is built around instructions.

Bad instructions, eg. viruses, will be read even if you have an immune system prepared by prior exposure or, to a sometimes lesser extent, most current vaccines.

A single read/write of a single virion can be measure as an infection with sufficient pcr cycles (may take 60…).

Everyone will eventually get this endemic virus, but many will never notice, even those who are vaccinated.

Both my wife and I are vaccinated. She caught COVID about 3 weeks ago. I had quite a few reasons to assume I'd catch it as well, but I never did (tested twice during the course of her infection)

Could this be because the existing vaccines were developed to generate immunity against the original strain of Covid? In other words would a new vaccine based on delta produce better results?

Anecdotally, out of my gang of 6 who went to a concert a couple of weeks ago, 4 of us got sick. I genuinely don’t know how I didn’t, considering everything.

All of us were vaccinated of course.

If vaccination doesn’t stop transmission, could you say it provides a breeding ground for more resillient/contagious strains of the virus?
