Wetin na dis "Herd Immunity" we ɔlman de tɔk bɔt? Lɛ wi ɔndastand am simpul wan, nɔto so?

Yu go mɔs dɔn yɛri di wɔd "Herd Immunity." Bɔku pipul dɛn dɔn de tɔk bɔt am, mɔ di tɛm we COVID-19 pandemik de. So, wetin i rili min? Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt am smɔl tide, lɛk fɔ tɔk to wi padi.

Wetin na dis ‘Hɛd Imyuniti’?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, herd immunity na we bɔku pipul dɛn na wan patikyula eria ɔ grup gɛt imyun (i.e. protɛkt) frɔm wan patikyula vayrɔs ɔ ɔda infɛkshɔn ɛjɛn, we de mek i at fɔ mek da sik de skata. Imajin, we dɛn protɛkt bɔku pipul dɛn, di chans fɔ mek da sik de jomp frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin kin stɔp.

Bɔku we dɛn de fɔ mek yu gɛt imyuniti:

• Na bay we yu sik ɛn wɛl na yu bɔdi.
• Tru di vaysin.
• bay we yu de gεt antibodi dεm frכm כdasay, lεk frכm mama to pikin (dεn kכl dis pasiv imuniti, wi go tכk bכt dat sכmtεm).

Dɔktɔ dɛn se vaksin na di bɛst ɛn sef we fɔ mek dɛn nɔ gɛt dis sik .

Ɔlman we gɛt di sik kin ɛp fɔ mek di sik nɔ go pas to ɔda pipul dɛn. Imajin se dɛn dɔn gi yu di vaysin. Da we de, di chans fɔ pas di vayrɔs to ɔda pɔsin kin ridyus. I de ridyus di chans bak fɔ mek di vayrɔs chenj insay yu bɔdi ɛn mek nyu we. Bɔt if wan vayrɔs de skata kwik kwik wan, di nɔmba fɔ pipul dɛn we nɔ gɛt am nid fɔ bɔku pasmak fɔ stɔp am.

Sɔmtɛm dɛn kin kɔl dis grup imuniti bak ``kɔmyuniti imuniti'' ɔ ``populeshɔn imuniti.'' Dɛn ɔl min di sem tin.

Aw di imyuniti de divɛlɔp?

Antibodi na spɛshal tin dɛm we wi bɔdi de mek fɔ fɛt di jem dɛm we de mek wi gɛt sik we de kam insay wi bɔdi. Ɛni antibodi de gi protɛkshɔn frɔm wan sik nɔmɔ. Wi kin gɛt dis imyuniti pan tu men we dɛn.

Aktiv Imyuniti

Dis involv fɔ mek antibodies frɔm wi yon bɔdi. Dis kin apin bak tu we dɛn:

1. Natural immunity: Dis min se we wi sik ɛn wɛl frɔm am, wi bɔdi de mek antibodies agens da sik de.

2. Imyuniti frɔm vaksin: Dɛn kin yuz vaksin fɔ put wan sik we wik ɔ kil (ɔ pat pan am) insay wi bɔdi, we kin mek wi bɔdi mek antibodies agens da sik de.

dis aktv imyuniti de gi wi b כdi "imyun mεmכri." Dis min se if wi gɛt di sem sik bak tumara bambay, wi bɔdi kin no am kwik kwik wan ɛn mek antibodi.

Pasiv Imyuniti we pɔsin kin gɛt

Dis na we wi de gɛt antibodi dɛm frɔm ɔdasay na wi bɔdi. Fɔ ɛgzampul:

• di nyu bכbi dεm de gεt antibodi dεm frכm dεn mama tru di mama in milk.
• Dɛn kin gɛt antibodi dɛn tru sɔm tin dɛn we dɛn kin mek na blɔd.

insay dis pasiv imyuniti, wi bכdi nכ de divεlכp da kayn "mεmכri." So, di protεkshכn we i de gi na כnli te wi gεt antibodi dεm frכm כdasay. Na fɔ shɔt tɛm nɔmɔ.

Aw di herd immunity gɛt fɔ du wit COVID-19?

Yu no aw kwik di `(COVID-19)` vayrɔs, in ɔrijinal fɔm, ɛn leta we dɛn lɛk `(Delta variant)` ɛn `(Omicron variant)` de skata. Insay di fɔs tɛm we di pandemik bin de, di wan dɛn we de du risach bin tink se if 60% to 70% pan di pipul dɛn na di wɔl gɛt vaysin, dɛn dɔn wɛl frɔm di sik, ɔ gɛt imyuniti, dɛn go ebul fɔ bil herd imuniti to `(COVID-19)`.

Bɔt di wan dɛn we de du risach bin no se dis nɔmba nɔ go inof, we dɛn gi aw di `(Delta)` ɛn `(Omicron)` difrɛns dɛn kin pas. Naw sɔm pipul dɛn se da nɔmba de kin rich 85%.

Wi nɔ go ebul fɔ ajɔst di herd immunity to COVID-19 if wi nɔ gɛt vaysin?

Infakt, i rili at ɛn denja fɔ bil herd imyuniti to sik lɛk ``(COVID-19)`` we yu nɔ gɛt vaysin. Fɔ mek dat apin, bɔku pipul dɛn go gɛt fɔ gɛt di sik. If dat apin, bɔku pipul dɛn go day ɛn bɔku pipul dɛn go sik bad bad wan.

Naw, ivin wit vaysin, sɔm prɔblɛm dɛn de fɔ mek dɛn gɛt di hεrd imyuniti. Tek wan luk:

• Sɔm pipul dɛn kin gri se di vaysin nɔ bad, bɔt dɛn nɔ kin want fɔ tek am.
• Sɔm pipul dɛn nɔ kin ebul fɔ gɛt di vaysin fɔ wɛlbɔdi rizin.

• Nɔto ɔlman na di wɔl kin gɛt di sem vaysin.

Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat fɔ ɛkspɛkt di herd immunity we yu nɔ gɛt vaysin tan lɛk fɔ kɔmit big disasta.

Insay kɔntri dɛn lɛk Amɛrika, usay di vaysin dɛn bin bi standad, di wan dɛn we gɛt mizɛl dɔn drɔp pas 99%.

Bɔt sɔntɛnde, di sik we dɛn kɔl mizɛl kin apin to pipul dɛn we nɔ gɛt di vaysin. Fɔ ɛgzampul, insay 2019, na bin 1,282 pipul dɛn we gɛt mizɛl na Amɛrika, we na di nɔmba we pas ɔl frɔm 1992. Pipul dɛn we nɔ gɛt di vaysin, mɔ di wan dɛn we dɔn travul go ɔda kɔntri, ɛn di wan dɛn we de na say dɛn we dɛn nɔ gɛt di vaysin, na dɛn kin gɛt di prɔblɛm pas ɔlman.
