00:00:00.380 --> 00:00:04.990
As more and more americans receive the corona virus vaccine the concept of

00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:08.430
heard immunity might actually be within reach

00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:12.550
...is the idea that once the majority of individuals

00:00:12.550 --> 00:00:14.800
...population have antibodies

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.100
...action you begin to slow the transmission of an

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:23.580
action because many of the people it is getting transmitted to our

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:28.060
once a lot of people have protection it will reduce

00:00:28.060 --> 00:00:32.890
rates even if we are doing things that otherwise expose each other

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:35.870
...probably close to seventy five to eighty

00:00:35.870 --> 00:00:41.310
percent if not more to get really good heard immunity we want to reach

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:46.120
seventy percent of the adult population...fourth of july.

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:50.260
What percentage of people with antibodies needed to achieve heard immunity

00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:55.200
...among experts most degree it's above seventy percent we know that we

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.930
need seventy percent or more of individuals to

00:00:58.930 --> 00:01:04.140
have antibodies where either from the...from that drawn faction but

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:08.480
that's kind of the bottom threshold...see reduce transmission?

00:01:09.670 --> 00:01:12.590
When we get to eighty or ninety percent it will

00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:15.350
have better protection there are two ways for a

00:01:15.350 --> 00:01:19.990
population to become protected by antibodies the first is through infection

00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:24.400
some republican lawmakers advocated for this approach while pushing to open up the

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.330
country early in the pandemonium which many doctors refer to as morally reprehensible

00:01:29.330 --> 00:01:34.410
as it would lead to more deaths this resurgence or surgeon the disease new

00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:38.680
york has very few deaths and very few new cases has nothing to do with

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.410
the lock-down I believe that it has a great deal to do with the level of immunity

00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:48.120
they've achieved sweden also embrace this policy early on but instituted

00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:48.680
aggressive

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.200
lock-down measures after experiencing much higher rates of infection and death

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.420
...their neighboring countries we did not manage to protect the most normal people

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:03.120
most elderly despite our best intentions although

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.740
it's too early to tell for certain some experts believe the antibodies faster through

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:12.690
natural infection may not last as long as the antibodies created from vaccines,

00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:16.510
vaccines of course the second way to achieve heard immunity but

00:02:16.510 --> 00:02:21.440
with many americans expressing vaccine hesitancy what happens if we can hit that

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:25.490
seventy percent threshold fr vaccination...stalls?

00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:28.860
And, we continue to see high transmission rates and the virus continues to

00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:33.780
mutate we're going to be in a situation where we continue to see hospitalizations

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:36.140
and that's we continue to remain at risk

00:02:36.140 --> 00:02:40.300
so we will get to a point eventually we're there

00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:45.290
...burns through enough of the I'm vaccinated population that you get to hurt immunity that

00:02:45.290 --> 00:02:49.970
way but that's not...we want to go because that involves a lot of more

00:02:49.970 --> 00:02:54.940
ability vaccine hesitancy can also create a situation in which the under

00:02:54.940 --> 00:02:58.420
action is population breeds new corona virus variance that

00:02:58.420 --> 00:03:02.500
are dangerous to those already vaccinated the more that the virus

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:06.260
is able to circulate the more worry there is that...invariant might have

00:03:06.260 --> 00:03:11.400
emerged that is resistant to our current vaccines so researchers are right now

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:16.090
working very hard to monitor and study that and to develop

00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:21.540
future vaccines it needed I'm hopeful that our researchers will be able to develop that we're

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:25.690
all in this together urban and rural north and south east and west old

00:03:25.690 --> 00:03:30.520
and young already scripts and if we don't get higher take among all groups

00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:37.220
...not going to be able to reduce transmission and?
