The Lancet had a “no-Covid” article, the UK has a “zero Covid coalition”. But these predate the era of mass vaccination and the Delta strain.
Let us consider the known tools for suppressing the virus. One is restriction on human movement—quarantine, border control, lockdown. This worked for Australia and New Zealand before the Delta strain, but not any more.
Then there’s antibodies: natural immunity in those who already caught the virus; vaccination; and herd immunity from a population full of antibodies, making effective transmission difficult.
The major western vaccines were touted as good for preventing transmission and infection. But at this point, their main unequivocal virtue lies in preventing serious illness. To an unknown degree, vaccinated people can still get infected and can still infect others. This, along with reluctance to get vaccinated in a significant portion of the population, is why masks and other such measures have returned.
Given that social resistance to vaccination and to continued restrictions, an optimal strategy cannot assume 100% consent and participation. Perhaps the way it will play out, is that vaccination and other public health measures will play the main role, and the remaining role will be filled by natural herd immunity building up among the unvaccinated.
We could easily update our vaccines to be more effective against Delta. It’s just about swapping the sequence. We could test additional vaccines against targets besides the spike protein and see whether it improves immunity.
We could run highly powered studies for substances such as ivermectin. The same goes for the other six treatments on the FLCCC preventive protocol.
We recently saw cases in states like the UK go down for reasons we don’t fully understand. If we would do more science to understand it that might give us additional ways to fight COVID.
I expect there’s a lot to be gained by improving air quality, both air filters and humidity control.
