The Unvaccinated Low-Risk and the Vaccinated High-Risk Are The Same Thing.

What do you call a vaccine that reduces symptoms and limits spread, but does not provide immunity?

A Preventative Therapeutic.

The most important preventative therapeutic in the history of man, of course. Why?

It reduces the degree of COVID severity in people who are high-risk. Someone who is high-risk likely has one of the following comorbidities:
- Overweight or obese
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes, asthma
- Age (the older you are, the higher the risk you assume)

That is important to know. Noting the degree of severity is important. We know the COVID vaccine reduces severity of symptoms and transmission without providing immunity.

We know that people who are high-risk are superspreaders, or people who release a greater viral load when infected with COVID. Viral load refers to the amount of virus particles present in a person’s breath, or air particles. Superspreaders are those who exhale a greater viral load.

Consider these two groups of Americans.

1. Low Risk- Healthy and active lifestyle. Healthy BMI. The younger the person, the lower the degree risk. Very unlikely to be a superspreader with these criteria. Low viral load.

2. High Risk- Unhealthy BMI. Comorbidity. Likely to be superspreader with these criteria. High viral load.

Is there a difference between these two groups? There used to be. And that difference was what fueled the pandemic early in it’s early stages. The high-risk, with their great viral load, were spreading the virus at a higher rate.

But there is no longer a difference between these two groups if the high-risk are vaccinated.

Which is why the COVID vaccine (which is essentially a preventative therapeutic) is so important.

It transforms the high-risk to low-risk.

Currently, there is little to no difference between the vaccinated high-risk and the unvaccinated low-risk.

The vaccine essentially negates the high-risk superspreader so that they have less severe symptoms and reduced rates of transmission when infected.

Therefore the vaccinated high-risk and the unvaccinated low risk are essentially the same in that:

both have zero immunity until infected
both have mild symptoms when infected
both will not produce a high viral load when infected
both will have low rates of transmission (this is why you’ll see someone young and healthy fail to infect a high-risk vaccinated family member under the same roof)

It is crucial the public knows the only way to create immunity from COVID is to be infected with the virus. Infection is inevitable, whether your vaccinated or not. The vaccine does not provide immunity, but reduces the severity of infection. Aside from immunity, getting infected with COVID also provides the best protection from COVID variants.

If you’re high-risk, get vaccinated.

If you’re low-risk, continue practicing behaviors that has made you low risk. Be a healthy American. Wear a mask when appropriate. Continue to maintain a healthy BMI. That’s a great way to “do your part”.
