Yup, the long anticipated third wave of the pandemic is upon us, and here's why.
Vaccinations. As countries roll out mass vaccinations, covid cases and deaths go up! It's true! The UK and Israel were early birds to the vaccination sweepstakes. Both countries saw massive spikes in both cases and deaths after they began mass vaccinations. In both countries, the onset of vaccinations triggered the third wave, which began to recede after 6-8 weeks.
Here's the UK data. They started vaccinating the second week of December.
Israel began vaccinating the third week of December.
It's therefore reasonable to expect that as our vaccine roll-out progresses, we too will see a spike in cases and deaths.
And by the way, that jab doesn't prevent you getting the disease, nor does it prevent you from spreading it. So what's the point? Check out this story from CNN; Pfizer and Moderna could score 32 billion in vaccine sales.
Do your patriotic duty and get your shot!
