The Two Pandemics

The pandemic may be infecting both vaccinated and not-vaccinated, but number of Death, Seriously ill and use of health care resources are negligible among the fully vaccnated nations.

Thus the poor nations of Africa and South East Asia who cannot afford vaccination are suffering more.

The rich and poor divide has never been more visible.

The World is having two different pandemics this year.

One reached its peak by the mid January and the other is peaking now. (Pic)

The first one killed a disproportionately high numbers among the developed nations like EU, UK and USA. They may or may not be attributed to the Alpha variant. But the second one is killing more people in the world over without sparing even the developed nations. It is by one single mutant; the Delta variant.

A sweeping statement like this will definitely raise many eyebrows. So I have used a special knife to dissect the above Graph into two segments: : Vaccination.

Vaccination divides our planet into two clear worlds.

The Pandemic among the vaccinated

and

The Pandemic of the unvaccinated.

The world is sharply divided by the delta variants.

The Pandemic breaks down our small world in to

A pandemic of the haves

and

Another pandemic of the Have-nots.

They’re cannot be two diseases as dissimilar as any.


Issues we are going to examine in this blog are:

  • Do the vaccines protect ?
  • The one word answer is YES.

Again

  • Do the statistics lie ?
  • The answer is NO.

Statistics should only be interpreted in the context of the matter.

You see, the gap between Haves and Have-nots has never been so stark earlier.

To be continued…

Opinions are purely personal.
