Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe
New York Times ^ | May 3, 2021 | Apoorva Mandavilli

Posted on 05/03/2021 8:19:37 AM PDT by SaxxonWoods

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.

How do they claim to know this would doing antibody studies?!

Or...if they have done them, what haven’t they released the info?

Unlikely and unnecessary. If the numbers are going down, the chances are it’s already been reached.

Herd Immunity? A complete fallacy.

Through a couple of thousand years of work, we have found cures for a few medical hiccups. The covid is not new. The first covid cases have been around for centuries. Ain’t got them killed yet. Look at the black plague. It kicked off in the 1300’s and is still around today. We get cases of it in the northwest every year.

The whole thing is speculation and trying to create the theory of herd immunity artificially is laughable as the virus changes until it kills itself. This hit the US in late 2019 and have been morphing ever since. We are told about the ones from the British Islands and from South America. Any more? Flip a coin. Gonna stop them? Flip a coin.

If/ when we ask catch it, we reach herd immunity. These bastards are just trying to push the vaccine on us that are already immune for “obedience” purposes.

Since there is no herd immunity for any of the other human coronaviruses, I’ve never been clear on why this one would be different.

BINGO. It's a lie and they know it.

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

Good one. Witty, and insightful.

As vaccinations and natural infections continue to accumulate, how could we not reach herd immunity thresholds? It is not calculus, just simple addition.

The performance curves are becoming well known. We can see the tracks in Israel, the UK, the USA and elsewhere.

We are entering the window of growing herd immunity effects now, and as you point out, subpopulations are likely further along already, such as areas that were highly infected early on, like NYC.

I will be interested in seeing what happens during the next corona virus season, may next fall or winter

My bet is they have a booster by Fall.

When did people become herd animals?

When the globalists started calling us "labor units", but then soon realized that demoncraps don't actually work.

The thing is, they could end vaccine hesitancy in ten minutes if they really wanted to. Just put out a directive that says that if you are vaccinated, you do not have to wear a mask in any building open to the public.

You would have 85% vaccinations by the end of the week.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of desperate Democrats moving the goal posts again.

Just as with politically correct global warming, hindsight with CV19 seems to be 20/20.
