The nation’s top infectious disease doctor offered a timeline for ending the COVID-19 pandemic this week, saying that if the coming vaccination campaign goes well, we could approach herd immunity by summer’s end and “normality that is close to where we were before” by the end of 2021.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Wednesday that that estimate is dependent on significant numbers of Americans being willing to be inoculated with one of several vaccines in various stages of development. If 75 percent to 80 percent of Americans are vaccinated in broad-based campaigns likely to start in the second quarter of next year, then the U.S. should reach the herd immunity threshold months later. If vaccination levels are significantly lower, 40 percent to 50 percent, Fauci said, it could take a very long time to reach that level of protection.

We’re still just blessin Fauci’s heart down in Alabama.
This northern Albertan gets the meaning.
He is nothing more than an agenda driven bureaucrat.
Keep pushing back those goalposts.
Already shaming those will not get the vaccine
lol
I won’t be ashamed. I also won’t get all messed up from some shot.
That pic is a keeper for sure.
This country will never return to normal. The middle class will be decimated. The lower class will be destitute and most will be homeless with some of the former middle-class joining them. The ruling class, for the time being, will continue as they have with no changes to their life-styles. Eventually however, what they have done to this nation will arrive at their doorstep and pay back will be hell!
I thought Herd Immunity was a farce? WTF?
So how close to herd immunity are we now? As fast as it is spreading WITH masks seems we should be getting close.
You can keep your doctor...
The guy is always, first and foremost, a political hack.
There must be bodies everywhere.
This guy’s 15 minutes of fame has exceeded its expiration date by nine months. He’s become an embarrassing parody of himself. But the media considers him an all-knowing oracle of ‘science’, so we’re stuck with him until someone pushes the eject button.
Ya gotta get the vaccine....and they'll play with those stats.
Remember...there were no children under the age of 16 included in the vaccine trials.
Along with small business (bars, restaurants, and other mom and pops shops) will be gone for a long long time. We are witnessing the fruits of mass cowardice and "safe spaces". The psychological effects will be enormous.
Question: Are there enough of us to fight back against Goliath?
The Lord said "But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?"
The World has lost its faith. If not, everyone wouldn't be so terrified of death to the point they are paralyzed.
