Members Riobard Posted August 3, 2020 Author Members Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) American Whites, given population share and vaccination attitudes, are the most likely subgroup to compromise widespread immunity through a prospective effective vaccination program. Hispanics and Asians are better allies if you want to bank on reaching the threshold that fizzles out CoV2 incidence. If natural immunity through infection is durable (jury not out on that verdict), then incidence to date also tips the balance in favour of herd protection. Disproportionate incidence for African Americans, if exposure is as protective as vaccination, may offset vaccination disinclination in terms of minimal broad community immunity threshold. It is a tragic paradox. Edited August 3, 2020 by Riobard Quote

Members Buddy2 Posted August 3, 2020 Members Posted August 3, 2020 Until recently, the St. Louis Cardinals had a long history of major African American stars (Bob Gibson, Ozzie Smith, Willie McGee). Even now when nearly leading baseball in covid19, the emerging star is pitcher Jack Flaherty who was adopted by a white single mother. Quote

Members Riobard Posted August 3, 2020 Author Members Posted August 3, 2020 I thought the widespread trend was that most coronavirus-related content was released pro bono. I wonder if print media is backpedaling on that concession. tassojunior 1 Quote

I wonder if print media is backpedaling on that concession. lol.....Jeff Bezos did not make $13 Billion in one day last week giving anything away for free. WaPo has a very narrow definition of what's free "coronavirus" news. NYT is just a little better. Quote
