Herd Immunity to COVID-19 Fails to Materialize in Sweden

https://scitechdaily.com/herd-immunity- ... in-sweden/

Sent out the party invitations yet? They'll say "No masks!" right?

not really much to be gleaned from the article or the study. study is just a short compilation of stats of covid tracking and measures taken, really.

sweden seems to have gotten back toward semi-normal even after disrupting society maybe the least during the spring. death rate high vs scandanavian cousins, of course. odds are they'll lose that particular numbers game given how things have gone and what neighboring countries are likely willing to do to keep their deaths and infections down until (maybe) help with a therapeutic or vaccine arrives.

Sweden won...American libs lost.

And before our country's libs lost this round, they were extolling Sweden as a model of socialism to emulate. Goes to show you it's all about power and not honest conversations. Defeat Democrats.

What's your commentary?

We're indeed seeing a lot more people die at home instead of seeking medical care through the pandemic. Sad to think of how many we may have been able to save. Lots of collateral damage medically and economically from this clusterf**k of a pandemic.

Pretty dumb argument. Out of 215 countries, Sweden is 8th worst in deaths per million population. It's a long distance race, but that's miserably worse than their immediate neighbors...who BTW are also experiencing low deaths/day currently. And they did no better than their neighbors economically.

Of course, it could all get better for Sweden over the long haul, especially if it takes another year before an effective vaccine is available, but right now they look miserable.

Of course, it looks like the USA will soon blow past Sweden on that millions of deaths per million pop metric...with far worse economic impact...

"if it takes another year before an effective vaccine is available"...

Where do you get your news, MD? I am guessing you are unaware of 3 vaccines currently in Stage 3, all so far with solid results reporting. There are over 100 in development.

You'll have your vaccine by October 15.

CU88 last night posted a gem which said that 'getting a check from the Feds is being on the dole' (meaning I suppose that Joe Biden has been on the dole practically his entire adult life since he has worked for the federal government most of that time?). Work for the military? On the Dole! Be a judge? On the dole! Serve as Ambassador? On the dole!

But I'm the idiot for pointing out that we already have 3 stage 3 Covid vaccines.

The "dole" comment was a head scratcher, but I did understand the point that the gal had been supported at every stage of her life by government dollars, including even who she went to work for. I doubt anyone is criticizing her for that, just the rather dense lack of recognition of the importance of government $ in her life.

But yeah, you're an idiot for predicting I'll have my vaccine by October 15. Zero chance.

I wasn't predicting it would take a full year from now to get an effective vaccine disseminated sufficiently to quash the virus, but it's one very real possibility of timetable, and IF that's what happens, Sweden's strategy may prove less awful. On the other hand, if an effective vaccine happens much sooner, then Sweden's awful strategy will remain far worse than their peer neighbors.

"Zero chance". How can there be a "ZERO" chance when you could have already gotten one of three vaccines simply by signing up for a Stage 3 active trial?! 90,000 (minimum) active participants would like a word with you.

You'll have a choice of several (not even one) by October 15.

Zero chance by Oct 15.
Disseminated across the population sufficient to quash the virus, enabling us to truly get back to normal behaviors?
Zero chance by Jan 15.

Of course, it could all get better for Sweden over the long haul, especially if it takes another year before an effective vaccine is available, but right now they look miserable.

Of course, it looks like the USA will soon blow past Sweden on that millions of deaths per million pop metric...with far worse economic impact...

You'll have your vaccine by October 15.

You are an idiot.

CU88 last night posted a gem which said that 'getting a check from the Feds is being on the dole' (meaning I suppose that Joe Biden has been on the dole practically his entire adult life since he has worked for the federal government most of that time?). Work for the military? On the Dole! Be a judge? On the dole! Serve as Ambassador? On the dole!

But I'm the idiot for pointing out that we already have 3 stage 3 Covid vaccines.

The entertainment here is endless. Bob Saget Live has nothing on this crowd!

The "dole" comment was a head scratcher, but I did understand the point that the gal had been supported at every stage of her life by government dollars, including even who she went to work for. I doubt anyone is criticizing her for that, just the rather dense lack of recognition of the importance of government $ in her life.

But yeah, you're an idiot for predicting I'll have my vaccine by October 15. Zero chance.

I wasn't predicting it would take a full year from now to get an effective vaccine disseminated sufficiently to quash the virus, but it's one very real possibility of timetable, and IF that's what happens, Sweden's strategy may prove less awful. On the other hand, if an effective vaccine happens much sooner, then Sweden's awful strategy will remain far worse than their peer neighbors.

"Zero chance". How can there be a "ZERO" chance when you could have already gotten one of three vaccines simply by signing up for a Stage 3 active trial?! 90,000 (minimum) active participants would like a word with you.

You'll have a choice of several (not even one) by October 15.

A known to be safe and effective vaccine?
Zero chance by Oct 15.
Disseminated across the population sufficient to quash the virus, enabling us to truly get back to normal behaviors?
Zero chance by Jan 15.

Of course, if you do sign up for an NIH trial, you have an equal chance of placebo, so there's that comfort.

now the disqualifier: "known to be a safe and effective vaccine"

If I could move the goalposts every time I am challenged on a statement.

No vaccine is ever 100% safe nor effective:

No vaccine has ever been released that was not clinically safe and effective. If so which vaccines?

The flu vaccine is between 40-60% "effective". Is that "effective" in your books?

Why has Sweden reached herd immunity?

Herd Immunity to COVID-19 Fails to Materialize in Sweden

https://scitechdaily.com/herd-immunity- ... in-sweden/

Sent out the party invitations yet? They'll say "No masks!" right?

not really much to be gleaned from the article or the study. study is just a short compilation of stats of covid tracking and measures taken, really.

sweden seems to have gotten back toward semi-normal even after disrupting society maybe the least during the spring. death rate high vs scandanavian cousins, of course. odds are they'll lose that particular numbers game given how things have gone and what neighboring countries are likely willing to do to keep their deaths and infections down until (maybe) help with a therapeutic or vaccine arrives.

Sweden won...American libs lost.

And before our country's libs lost this round, they were extolling Sweden as a model of socialism to emulate. Goes to show you it's all about power and not honest conversations. Defeat Democrats.

Effective however the clinicians define it. Do you know how the flu vaccine works? There is already a Russian vaccine out. You may be able to get it.

https://www.livescience.com/57488-vacci ... mbers.html

sheesh, I was talking about Sweden and it's strategy potentially looking better if an effective vaccine doesn't get disseminated until a year from now, and you make the outrageous claim that we'll have a vaccine by October 15...heck, you might as well have said that the Russians already have a vaccine.

That ain't the point...if a vaccine doesn't get disseminated that actually works, or folks can't be convinced that it's both effective and SAFE, then the virus will continue to plague us, altering our behaviors for a long time.

There's ZERO chance that we'll have a widely disseminated vaccine proven to be both safe and effective by October 15. We can hope and pray that one of these vaccines proves to work and be safe, and that it gets distributed swiftly, but that remains to be proven. In any case, we're looking at sometime in 2021 before it begins to be widely distributed, and even then the massive #'s needed to be vaccinated are going to be an enormous challenge and it will take many months, not weeks, to accomplish this.

Unfortunately, while I think the #'s of vaccines in process is reassuring, there's also a very real chance that the initial set of vaccines will prove to be insufficiently effective, or for such limited periods of immunity, or insufficiently safe as to be the answer we need. That said, there are other tests coming on their heels, so the # of chances is working the right way!
