Said natural immunity while protecting the sensitive with vaccines and other measures is the only way out.
Iceland, as one of the most vaccinated places on the planet, has officially abandoned vaccines as a tool to achieve herd immunity.
It cannot be overstated how significant this is as Iceland wanted to partner with Pfizer in February to find out if 70% vaccination rate would stop transmission and cause herd immunity. They got to 70%... and cases still exploded.
@HacksawDawg - read this please. The truth is right there for us to see if we will shake off the manure that has been piled on us. Vaccines were never tested to stop spread, and they do not.
This also says something about the utter incompetence in ignoring natural immunity. It also may be the first brick falling in the wall the public health establishment has put up to shut out those of us who have said since last March that protecting the vulnerable while trusting natural immunity would be the only sustainable way to handle this.
There is hope in a country making this admission but we got to fight like hell in the meantime to turn this around. The wrong-headed are winning right now IMO and it is going to take organized social action to counter it.
Here is the key quote: "Guðnason said in Sprengisandur in Bylgjan this morning that it is disappointing that herd immunity has not been achieved with vaccination. He says that only one other way is able to achieve herd immunity, to allow the virus to spread throughout the community."
