Essentially, what doesn&#8217;t kill the virus makes it stronger. In retaliation for sharing these views, Dr. Malone was ridiculed by colleagues&nbsp; as a conspiracist and an &#8220;anti-vaxxer&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">But earlier this week, Dr. Malone saw his views subtly vindicated by an unexpected source:&nbsp;<strong>a British scientist and academic named Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, who is the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group.&nbsp;<\/strong>During a briefing, Sir Pollard warned Parliament that the UK likely won&#8217;t ever achieve herd immunity, thanks to the delta variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">In remarks that risked undermining the government&#8217;s vaccination campaign, Sir Pollard, a professor of pediatric infection and immunity, warned Parliament on Tuesday that&nbsp;<strong>achieving herd immunity is likely &#8220;not a possibility&#8221; thanks to variants like delta. Recently, a group of scientists estimated that the threshold for herd immunity might now be as high as 90% due to the delta variant.&nbsp;<\/strong>According to Pollard, we&#8217;re learning for the first time that herd immunity is magical thinking &#8211; and has always been magical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">Since those who are vaccinated can still be infected by variants, &#8220;there is virtually nothing the UK can do&#8221; to eradicate COVID completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>&#8220;We know very clearly with coronavirus that this current variant, the Delta variant, will still infect people who have been vaccinated, and that does mean that anyone who&#8217;s still unvaccinated, at some point, will meet the virus,&#8221;&nbsp;<\/strong>Pollard said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">He said it was unlikely that herd immunity will ever be reached, saying the next variant of the novel coronavirus will be &#8220;perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For More Information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/covid-19\/herd-immunity-not-possibility-dr-malone-vindicated-after-oxford-prof-warns-over-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/covid-19\/herd-immunity-not-possibility-dr-malone-vindicated-after-oxford-prof-warns-over-new<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Dr. Malone, TYLER DURDEN In one of the most appalling examples of Big Tech silencing scientists who refuse to withhold their criticisms of the mRNA technology behind the Moderna [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[761,110,213,854,877,337,375,914,607],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-concerns","category-delta","category-hurd-immunity","category-leaky-vaccines","category-moderna-vaccine","category-mrna","category-news-of-the-day","category-pfizer-vaccine","category-vaccine-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
