Although we still need more data to determine how leaky they are, the rate of breakthrough infections in vaccinated people remains statistically low enough to consider the mRNA vaccines highly effective at preventing infection. Read points out that no vaccine is 100% effective. Rogan seems to think that mRNA vaccines are quite leaky because of breakthrough infections. Especially when the vaccines themselves cut down on the amount of virus circulating in the population.” “It's a bizarre line of logic that some hypothetical possibility down the line would hold back lifesaving medicine now. Is there any reason to avoid vaccination for fear it could produce a vaccine-resistant mutation? But right now the problem is the unvaccinated.” If we get to that position in a year or something, we can keep a very good eye out on what evolution is happening. Right now we need to vaccinate as much as possible.” He pauses, “I would be delighted, I have to say, to get to the point where the vast majority of the evolution that's going on is in vaccinated people because there's only vaccinated people around. “There’s tons of things we can do in the future. If a new variant emerges, “we can get second-generation vaccines,” Read accurately points out, as pharmaceutical companies are already developing boosters and second-generation vaccines. No replication, no evolution.”Ĭould a variant evolve in vaccinated people?Įven though variants are more likely to emerge in unvaccinated people, a variant from a vaccinated person is still possible. He adds, “the best way to slow evolution is to stop the virus. Read agrees with the vast majority of health experts that vaccines are our best weapon against COVID-19. The unvaccinated need to either get vaccinated or socially distance, mask up, stopping transmission. “Delta came in India where there was crazy amounts of transmission, not amongst the vaccinated, but amongst the unvaccinated. The greatest violin virtuoso used to be four feet tall, standing in their bedroom with a tiny bow, trying to squeak out a teeth-gritting version of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star for the first time.The Delta variant emerged from populations who lacked access to vaccines. Your favorite fantasy fiction author used to be a freckle-faced adolescent who would hunch over his keyboard sipping on a soda and scratching her head about how to describe a dragon. The biggest Hollywood actors and actresses used to be tiny humans nervously huddled backstage at the school play, reciting their lines over and over again and hoping they didn't mess anything up. Prolific modern-day inventors and business figures like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates used to be teenagers tinkering in the garage with model airplanes, computer hard drives, and mail-order robot kits. Your husband, your wife, your mother, your father, your brother, and your sister-at a time really not too long ago-were pooping in their diapers, learning to awkwardly take their first step, throwing a tantrum, snatching away some other kid's precious toy, and checking under the bed and in the bedroom closet for scary monsters. Joe Rogan describes in many of his podcasts in which he discusses parenting how, when someone says something to him that could be potentially upsetting, controversial, insulting, or just plain silly, now that he's a parent he really doesn't judge them quite as harshly nor allow his own feelings to get hurt because he's come to the realization that everyone is just a grown child inside an adult-sized meat suit, still picking one shallow fight after another with each other, buying bigger and bigger toys, eating, drinking, pooping, laughing, masturbating, crying, talking and seeking entertainment and self-pleasure to deliver the surges of dopamine we are all hard-wired to crave, often abusing or misusing others to satisfy that craving. There are some shreds of truth to Joe's thoughts. Just because you're a parent doesn't mean you're not still stricken with imposter syndrome and simply trying to stay “one step ahead” of your own kids in learning what it really means to be a parent, or even an adult for that matter.Īfter all, just because you're in possession of a full-grown body doesn't mean there's a responsible adult mind and soul inside.
