Ah, I get it I think. They mean that they fear the lambda variant could cause a bunch of reinfections in the formerly infected unvaccinated group?
Well, not necessarily reinfections, I think. Infections in general.
The issue is still the same: as of today, there's not a single country (I know of) where vaccination rates are high enough. So if you've got a variant that is going to spread more & faster, that also automatically means that more people are going to get sick.
Hence the lockdown talk to relieve pressure on hospitals.

Edit: am I the only one who thinks a certain someone in this thread has an annoying signature?

Iranians are also being forced to turn to the black market for lifesaving medicines for those struck down by the virus.
Hundreds of other Iranians with the means to do so have fled to neighboring countries of Armenia and Turkey in hopes of inoculating themselves.
The drugs can cost 10 to 30 million Toman ($400 to $1,200) per dose for Pfizer and three to seven million Toman ($150 to $250) for AstraZeneca — a significant amount in a country where the average salary is around three to five million Toman per month ( $150 to $200).
In the absence of an organized and speedy vaccine strategy by the government, a lucrative and corrupt black market for vaccines has arisen, affordable only to the well-off at a time of severe financial austerity and the dismal devaluation of the Iranian currency.
:sigh:

That’s interesting because out of the 8 people I know who got the vac’s 5 of them got sick. non had to go to hospital however down for days.
that comic is being used to call out Fox News for hypocrisy because everyone there has to disclose whether they got the vaccine and not snd wear masks if they haven’t.

meanwhile, their reporters are still talking about vax passports as if they’re the devil, just showing how they don’t practice what they preach

moderna or pfizer?
only less than one per cent become sick on getting infected. Mostly, it is asymptomatic.
Not true at all. Lol. Less than one percent die. CFR is significantly over 1%, IFR is between 0.3-0.6%. But hospitalizations are hugely higher than 1% of Covid cases lol. Hospitalizations in the states from delta are in the 5% + range for unvaccinated.

From a seroprevalence study of IHR in Connecticut in 2020, Infection Hospitalization Rate was estimated at 6.86%

We've had a state of emergency and a curfew for the last 3 months. Now the Gov't wants to extend ir for another 3 months.

The worst part is I have friends who actually support this.

Really beginning to question my sanity more and more. I really must be the crazy one.

It's the price to pay when you think for yourself, you are all alone out there.
