Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

Here immunity was a prohibited term until the left started using it to coarse vaccinations. They continue to ignore natural immunity. This is a farce.

If that is what official U.S. “experts” think, then you can be sure there are plenty of private sector real world experts with a much different point of view.

Nothing I like better than being called part of a herd.

Maybe they could call us pig pen occupants.

This whole Covid business reminds me of a guy whose house is flooding and he’s standing in the living room hitting the water with a rake.

“At least we’re doing something!”

Given that it’s the New York Times, it probably means that most US subpopulations achieved herd immunity several months ago.

That is because the story MUST CHANGE every 2-3 weeks in order to replenish the propaganda flow.

I have the solution!! Let’s open the borders unlimited and accept ALL people regardless of their diseases. heck, let’s don’t even test them to see what they have. This will help . . . . somehow . . maybe.

Like many fromt line health workers, the People should have Ivermectin available for prophylaxis.

Make Ivermectin available over the counter withour prescription cheaply and the campanion drigs and protocols.

You can see the protocols being used by front line health workers here.

All we need is cheap fast tests and cheap , cheaply freely available Ivermectin available to all.Let The people take care of themselves and put the draconian lock downs away.

Its cheap and easy to make.

Protocol:

lvermectin 0.2 mg/kg * — one dose on day 1 and day 3 Vitamin D3 4,000 IU/day Vitamin C 2,000 mg 2–3 times daily Quercetin 250 mg twice a day Zinc 1 0 0 m g/d ay Melatonin 10 mg before bedtime (causes drowsiness) Aspirin 325 mg/day (unless contraindicated) * ≈ 0.09 mg/lb per dose (take on an empty stomach with water). Example for a per - son of 60 kg (body weight): 60 kg × 0.2 mg = 12 mg — please see conversion table (kg  lbs) on page 2 to calculate the appropriate ivermectin dose. ** This dosing may be updated as further scientific studies emerge. *** To use if a household member is COVID-19 positive, or you have prolonged exposure to a COVID-19 positive patient without wearing a mask **** For late phase — hospitalized patients — see the FLCCC’s MATH+ Hospital Treat ment Protocol for COVID-19 on www.flccc.net

Herd immunity was never going to happen. It's a fast mutating RNA virus. We don't have a "vaccine" for the common cold for the same reason.

Aside from the Ivermectin, that is substantially what I do daily. I also add "chaga" tea and selenium. Recent reports from India observed the most severe cases were selenium deficient.
