Over the last six weeks, new cases of infection of the coronavirus have dropped an astonishing 77 percent. Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins, wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and observes: “If a medication slashed cases by 77%, we’d call it a miracle pill.”
Has the number of infections really dropped by 77 percent in 6 weeks?
According to the CDC COVID Data Tracker, there were 283,640 new cases on January 2, 2021. As of February 17, there were 69,165 cases. That represents a drop of 75.05 percent in six weeks — for all you fact-checkers out there.(CDC COVID Data Tracker)
But Makary points out that the vaccine hasn’t been totally responsible for the drop. He makes a strong case that “natural immunity from prior infection is far more common than can be measured by testing.”
Testing has been capturing only from 10% to 25% of infections, depending on when during the pandemic someone got the virus. Applying a time-weighted case capture average of 1 in 6.5 to the cumulative 28 million confirmed cases would mean about 55% of Americans have natural immunity.
Now add people getting vaccinated. As of this week, 15% of Americans have received the vaccine, and the figure is rising fast. Former Food and Drug Commissioner Scott Gottlieb estimates 250 million doses will have been delivered to some 150 million people by the end of March.
Makary is predicting “herd immunity” by April. He realizes that herd immunity is a loaded political phrase, but he’s got the evidence to back it up.

Jeez louise....
CDC says flu is down. How Miraculous!
I know a young man who has it... he was tired, had a runny nose and sub temps.. roommate a day behind.
Obviously, Trump was responsible for horrifically inaccurate testing, resulting in highly inflated numbers. Thank goodness biden is in charge now, and test results are rapidly improving to reflect the true low numbers. The party of manipulated science.
Orange man gone. He took the virus with him?
I also believe he instructed Cuomo how to "fix" the numbers so it would look like he killed less old folks.
Remember Fauci said he talked to bro Chris EVERY DAY during this rather long period. So there was a back door.
I will not get vaccinated. I don’t have underlying problems.
My wife is “Pre-Diabetic” but controllable with diet.
I don’t think she wants a shot either.
This whole thing is Political BS across the entire world.
What really surprises me is how easy it was to manipulate the masses. But in reality most people aren’t too “bright”.
That why we have Democrats in America, Moslems, and socialists all over the world.
Aloha.
I’m scared for kids getting these shots in the future. They appear to have their own defense. Why mess with it.
That’s for monetary reasons.
He’s sad because his he-bitch is gone.
New SecHealth has a real vagina...
They changed the testing standards.
They don’t need the panic anymore. For now.
Reference bump: Covif deaths down 72%
And just like that, all the dead bodies were gone and Covid wasn’t scary anymore.
Same with my grandson in college. He had a stuffy nose for 2 days but felt fine otherwise. He just got out of quarantine today.

Or the other data was lies.
That’s because they haven’t changed the guidelines for determining “Death”.
Yet.
I think at this point, the Deep State is just trolling us.
That’s BS. The people dying of Covid are dying in hospitals with mountains of clinical evidence to support the Covid diagnosis. There is no conspiracy to count people as covid deaths who aren’t actually covid deaths. I look at these charts all the time. If anything, there is a conspiracy to NOT count people as Covid deaths who are actually Covid deaths.
Bing bing bing!!!!!
We have a winner!
Y’all can stop pressing your buzzers.
Like to see the threshold cycle count being used for the chain reaction tests.
“I’m betting this was coordinated by Fauci himself.
I also believe he instructed Cuomo how to “fix” the numbers so it would look like he killed less old folks.
Remember Fauci said he talked to bro Chris EVERY DAY during this rather long period. So there was a back door.”
Good points and I wouldn’t doubt it for a second.
