A quarter of a million residents in the State of Hawaii now have natural immunity as a result of a prior infection to covid-19.\u00a0 A quarter of a million. <\/span><\/p>\n

This latest data coupled with the CDC's recent announcement<\/a> recognizing natural immunity as superior to vaccinated immunity against a Covid-19 viral infection, calls into question Hawaii's unchanged SMART Health Card<\/em> \/ Safe Access O\u2018ahu<\/em> programs, discriminating now against more than a quarter of a million people in the State who have acquired natural immunity through previous infection.\u00a0 These programs require proof of vaccination<\/strong><\/em> or proof of a recent negative Covid test<\/strong><\/em> -- the latter remarkably inconvenient and unrealistic, essentially coercing Hawaii's residents to be vaccinated or forfeit privileges otherwise only available to a segment of our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the growing number of people in the State who now have natural immunity to the disease, the Center for Disease Control's recent announcement<\/a> about the powerful protection supplied by natural immunity via a previous Covid infection is compelling and important: \". . . By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.\" <\/strong>(Source: The Center for Disease Control<\/a>)<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

With so many people in the State now having natural immunity against a Covid infection, why is our Department of Health leadership still ignoring CDC advice? One wonders if our DOH director, Dr.\u00a0 Libby Char, State epidemiologist, Dr. Sarah Kemble, and our part-time lieutenant governor \/ doctor, Josh Green, haven't gotten their medical credentials out of a cereal box.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while Honolulu's Blangiardi\u00a0 seems to be awakening from\u00a0 his long slumber,\u00a0 the governor's windshield still seems to be foggy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This latest natural immunity announcement from the CDC completely contradicts its own, now thoroughly debunked, recent \"study,\" which had the disturbing appearance of being a shill for Pfizer's very profitable ($34 billion) experimental Covid jab (the FDA approved version, Comirnaty, has not<\/strong><\/em> yet been released).\u00a0 The latter CDC study failed to convince any of the hundreds of scientists, worldwide, whose 15 or more recent studies<\/a> indicated that natural immunity has been the gold standard, that vaccinations should be the end game.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As an aside, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser mysteriously chose to focus on the flawed CDC<\/a> \"study\" rather than any of the other 15 available studies<\/a> that supplied completely opposite outcomes. The Star-Advertiser appears to be burrowing its way into irrelevancy.\u00a0 It has become nothing more than a rank-and-file mouthpiece for Hawaii's government and, as such, has become quietly irrelevant in the minds of many of us here in Hawaii.<\/span><\/p>\n

It might be time for Hawaii's Department of Health to wake up and smell the coffee and advise leaders that current mandates are completely irrelevant at this point and not in step with current science.\u00a0 With many scientists predicting the end of the pandemic by early summer<\/a> as a result of Omicron herd immunity, an ever growing number of countries around the world have begun to drop mandates<\/a>.\u00a0 The mandates have become the most destructive part of the pandemic and, given the overwhelming science, Hawaii needs to make some serious adjustments -- right now.<\/span><\/p>\n
