(NewsWars) Two-thirds of Indian population have Covid antibodies, despite only 6 to 18 percent fully vaccinated.
A recent survey which found 68 percent of India’s scarcely-vaccinated population have Covid-19 antibodies blows holes in the pro-vaccination narrative being pushed around the globe.
On Wednesday, The Guardian covered the results of the Indian Council of Medical Research’s national seroprevalence survey:
India’s fourth national sero-survey, which examines the prevalence of Covid-19 antibodies either through infection or vaccination, found that 67.6% of the population of more than 1.3 billion has coronavirus antibodies.
The Guardian noted that “Of those surveyed, 62.2% had not been vaccinated, 24.8% had taken one dose and 13% were fully vaccinated.”
According to Google stats, last updated Tuesday, only 6.4% of the country’s been fully vaccinated.
The Economic Times of India noted the survey included children six years of age and up.
The survey’s findings prompted social media speculation that India has reached herd immunity, even as 87 to 93 percent have not been fully vaccinated.
Graphs charting new Indian Covid-19 cases into July 2021 show a sharp decline in cases in recent weeks even as the Delta variant looms and vaccination rates remain low.
