2021-07-20 "Elderly people (who have completed vaccination) rush to the hospital with young people (not vaccinated) who are sick." [長年日記]

Yesterday, I took a break from work and vaccinated against the new coronavirus (second time).

I heard that the vaccine will not be effective for a long time (2 weeks?). In addition, although the vaccination reduces the probability of illness and seriousness, it is not perfect.

Above all -- there is no guarantee that I will not become a carrier of the virus.

One research report even states that 'carriers of the mutant strain (delta strain) are completers of the vaccination'.

-----

Of course, everyone has the right to refuse vaccination.

In fact, "side effects" do occur after vaccination.

I'm also experiencing the mildest of the side effects that were mentioned -- but I guess that's to be expected.

I think it's a bit too much to ask for 'no damage, just do something' when the body is in the process of producing antibodies to fight the worst virus in human history.

-----

I believe that this virus will continue to mutate to "attack unvaccinated humans directly" in the future.

Any virus is struggling to survive.

Therefore, it is natural for them to target the generation of people who do not have antibodies to the virus.

For example, if the vaccination rate for teens and 20-somethings is low, it should mutate to make teens and 20-somethings more susceptible to infection.

In addition, the higher the vaccination rate in the country, the more poisonous (highly infectious and deadly) it will become in order to overcome the difficulties.

-----

For example --

The Spanish flu killed the most people in the healthy young age group of 15-35 years old, while most of the elderly over 65 years old survive.

Also, in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, the incidence rate was highest among 20-29 year olds.

Thus, the "virus that is sure to kill the younger generation" has definitely existed in the past.

-----

It is the new coronavirus of "today" that "infects young people but does not cause serious illness or death."

As for the new coronavirus of "tomorrow", no one knows.

If the new coronavirus mutates into something like the Spanish flu or SARS,

"Elderly people (who have completed vaccination) rush to the hospital with young people (not vaccinated) who are sick."

The spectacle like a tale may appear.
