Many experts, along with politicians and journalists, are afraid to talk about herd immunity. The term has political overtones because some suggested the U.S. simply let Covid rip to achieve herd immunity. That was a reckless idea. But herd immunity is the inevitable result of viral spread and vaccination. When the chain of virus transmission has been broken in multiple places, it’s harder for it to spread—and that includes the new strains.

Herd immunity has been well-documented in the Brazilian city of Manaus, where researchers in the Lancet reported the prevalence of prior Covid-19 infection to be 76%, resulting in a significant slowing of the infection. Doctors are watching a new strain that threatens to evade prior immunity. But countries where new variants have emerged, such as the U.K., South Africa and Brazil, are also seeing significant declines in daily new cases.

How are they going to keep ginning up the fear?

Certainly NOT by “follow the science!”

The number of new cases was always kind of a BS statistic. I was saying a year ago that the number of daily deaths was the only statistic that could provide meaningful insights. And here we see it, deaths have peaked for the season and are dropping off though not nearly as dramatically as cases.

Watch for deaths from the flu, pneumonia, and heart attacks to go up, up, up.

Has anyone sent this to the idiot Governor of Pennsylvania - who still has the State on lockdown and extended it for another 90 days?

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.

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.

They changed the testing standards.

They don’t need the panic anymore. For now.

And just like that, all the dead bodies were gone and Covid wasn’t scary anymore.

Like to see the threshold cycle count being used for the chain reaction tests.
