Ignorant is a term used for people who don't know because they've never been given an opportunity to learn. I am ignorant of the preferred flavors of ice cream in China. But if I were given an opportunity to learn and found it was similar to here, but I insisted on TOTV that the favorite was licorice, then I'd be a liar. If I lacked the brainpower to absorb the facts, then I'd be stupid. So which are you?
Half a million dead Americans found out that their immune systems didn't save them. 30 million Americans found out their immune system didn't prevent catching the disease. And absolutely
no scientist would tell you that vaccinated people are more likely to become ill with the variants. In fact it is exactly the opposite. Vaccines provide some protection against the variants. And that protection is measured against how frequently non vaccinated healthy people get sick, with intact immune systems. Vaccinated people get sick less often. The amount of additional protection is still being evaluated.
Unvaccinated people are more likely to catch the variants as well as the original Covid. This is so simple and so elementary that anyone reading the literature and using Google would grasp this fact immediately.
The first published Lancet study of the AZ vaccine showed a 70% efficacy against the B 117 variant that is predominant in England. A very early bit of data on the
Pfizer vaccine showed 100% efficacy against the South African variant B 1.351, but tiny numbers and clearly it will not be 100%.
