95% of the U.S. population has some underlying condition based on current health statistics in this country and how unhealthy we are as a society.
Therefore we should protect everybody.

- About four in ten adults (37.6%) ages 18 and older in the U.S. (92.6 million people) have a higher risk of developing serious illness if they become infected with coronavirus, due to their older age (65 and older) or health condition (Figure 1; Table 1).
- Just over half of those at higher risk of developing a serious illness are ages 65 and older (55.2% or 51.1 million adults); however, the remaining 41.4 million adults ages 18-64 are at risk due to an underlying medical condition.
- The share of adults ages 18 and older who have a higher risk of developing a more serious illness varies across the country, ranging from 49.3 percent (West Virginia) to 30 percent (Utah).
- In some of the states with the highest number of reported coronavirus cases thus far, the share of adults at high risk of serious illness if infected is relatively high: Louisiana and Florida (at 42.1 percent, each) and Michigan (41.2 percent).
- An estimated 5.1 million adults who are at higher risk of getting a serious illness if they become infected with coronavirus are uninsured.

the answer could be in Vitamin D deficiency
All this should have shifted the focus of efforts towards T-cells at an early stage - the real question is why mainstream media and others continued to focus efforts and narrative on antibodies. Is it because vaccines are good at provoking antibody responses but not so great at generating T-cells? Some of the vaccines presently under trial do elicit some T-cells but it seems that neither the quantity nor variety are hugely impressive.
Does this matter? Apparently so: Research establishments including Yale found that in mild or asymptomatic cases, many T-cells are produced
High levels of vitamin D are also critical for first line immune defences including physical mucosal defences, human antiviral production, modulating cytokines, reducing blood clotting and a whole host of other important immune system functions [10]. The obese, diabetics and people of BAME origin are far more deficient in vitamin D and men have lower levels than women [10].
Geisler noted that "When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signalling device or 'antenna' known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it searches for vitamin D,", and if there is an inadequate vitamin D level, "they won't even begin to mobilize." In other words, adequate vitamin D is critically important for the activation of T-cells from their inactive naïve state

The stupidity never ends. These guys just don’t understand they live in a country, not on a pirate island.
The height of polio deaths in the US was about 55,000 a year. We did not have a mass vaccination because your chance of dieting from polio was 1 in 500,000, we had mass vaccination to save 55,000 lives a year.
It’s not about Covid being a threat to you personally, it’s about the public at large.
FYI: still zero known deaths from mRNA vaccinations.

Vitamin “D” deficiency is seen in the majority of severe Covid patients and the underlying reason it strikes the hispanic and black communities so hard. You’d think a simple PSA by our government on the matter would be appropriate.
I’ve mentioned this before..... normal response was it a doctor’s job, yada yada yada. There’s no shortage of PSA’s telling you to wash your hands, wear a mask but a simple take a vitamin supplement seems an impossible task.
Vitamin D deficiency has been tried to link to almost every ailment since the mid 20th century. Drink milk.
also higher the BMI larger the amount of Vitamin D needed to consume -this could perhaps fool some people
CDC - Published July 1 2021
95% of the 5 million adults (rounded) had at least one medical condition
https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm
Results
Among 4,899,447 hospitalized adults in PHD-SR, 540,667 (11.0%) were patients with COVID-19, of whom 94.9% had at least 1 underlying medical condition. Essential hypertension (50.4%), disorders of lipid metabolism (49.4%), and obesity (33.0%) were the most common. The strongest risk factors for death were obesity (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.27–1.33), anxiety and fear-related disorders (aRR = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.25–1.31), and diabetes with complication (aRR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.24–1.28), as well as the total number of conditions, with aRRs of death ranging from 1.53 (95% CI, 1.41–1.67) for patients with 1 condition to 3.82 (95% CI, 3.45–4.23) for patients with more than 10 conditions (compared with patients with no conditions).
So... this thread is created as a reference to put all the fear in context.
If Delta is worse... please post the stats.... and links.
If its worse for kids please post the stats ... and links

lol, that shit covers like 80% of the population
from my previous post...
