All 330 million are potentially susceptible. And if we weren’t seeing changes to the S protein, I would cap that number at somewhere around 82% based on the current R0 of the latest variants.

However, looking at P.1 and what happened in Manaus, Brazil (https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3939195/posts) even after 70% seroprevalence, it’s clear we can’t count on recovering from an infection with either the original Wuhan virus or the April 2020 variant to provide much immunity against P.1. When you open the door to reinfection with P.1 (or other variants), your vulnerable population enlarges to the point where pathways to those who would otherwise escape due to herd immunity.

So yes, given the data from Brazil, I think it’s reasonable to think about the entire population and not just the percentage of the population fitting under the herd immunity threshold given the R0.

Why should we believe ANY numbers from you Vax-Pushers?
We already know CDC screwed the pooch on test kits last summer.
We already know PCR was never meant for diagnosis.
We already know the lax definitions for infection last year.
We already know Moderna was $1 billion or more in debt last year.
We already know these are not vaccines, but experimental gene therapies (according to Moderna’s own SEC filing).
We already know VAERS only gets about 1% of adverse event reports.
We already know entry of data into VAERS has been slow-walked while they tried to convince everyone to get the jab.
There are more and more sources of strange new adverse effects in young, healthy people from the jab. Doctors are discussing among themselves, avoiding the hidebound (at best) and crooked (at worst) DC bureaucracy.
We already know news footage of the “deaths on the street” in India was footage from an industrial accident a year ago.
Nobody should believe anything you jab pimps say, including the words “and” and “the”.

I don’t understand??

No immunity from prior covid or vaccine for P1 yet we reach herd immunity? Did I miss something?

Despite the revelation that 80% of us have some form of T cell immunity already?

Why would you make as broad a statement as that?
