‘Experts’ Move The Goalposts, Declare Herd Immunity Threshold Now 90% Due To Delta

Bloomberg reports that delta’s spread has pushed the estimate for herd immunity “well over 80% and potentially approaching 90%” according to the Infectious Diseases Society of America, which announced the change during a briefing on Tuesday.

That’s a much higher bar than previous estimates of 60% to 70%. But the key here is Dr. Anthony Fauci and other policymakers will likely automatically treat the 90% number as a threshold for vaccination, not immunity - in other words, in their calculations, they exclude the millions of Americans who have been infected with COVID, but haven’t consented to vaccination.

Immunity does not equal vaccination.

Next it will be 90% must have the 3rd & 4th booster shots.

This is complete BS!! Why is anybody listening to these idiots? It has been obvious for a long time that they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Imagine if you took your car in for a flat tire & agreed to fix that. Then they said you needed 4 new tires, then a new radiator, and they wouldn't let you drive your car until you also got new shock absorbers, and still you can't drive the car until you reupholstered all the seats. Who in the world would go along with that crap?
