So 101 million fully vaccinated plus 32 million cases puts us at 40% with antibodies. Another 44 mill partially vaxxed gets us over 50%.
I’m still curious about how long the inventory will last before It expires. Hate to see if get thrown out like stale bread or apples.

The pros who estimate the total number of actual infections, like the CDC and John Hopkins, estimate that several times the number of confirmed cases have actually been exposed.
Many infections have no symptoms, and many with symptoms were not tested for COVID.
CDC estimated that last year, 83 million Americans were likely exposed to the virus, so that should be well over 100 million by now. Dr. Makary of John Hopkins estimated that there could now be 150-180 million Americans already exposed to COVID (he projected herd immunity beginning to emerge around the end of April).
Who knows how many of the people who have already been exposed, have also gotten vaccinated? There will be some degree of overlap. But as you point out, the combination of natural immunity and vaccination is getting to a high level.
I think we are crossing the tipping point now, and COVID cases are beginning their final decline.
If Pfizer and Moderna are kept in the deep freeze (especially cold, dry ice-like temperatures), I think they are good for more than a year. Once they are defrosted for use, they are very perishable. The J&J is supposed to be quite stable, in a regular refrigerator.
