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

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.

I’ve heard a lot of different figures as to what constitutes “herd immunity.” I thought last year they were saying that only about 20-30% of the people needed to have antibodies to reach heard immunity, but maybe I’m wrong.

“ Is anybody doing antibody studies?!
If not, gee, why would that be...? ”

Too much cross reaction with other CoV.

Well, DUH!!!!!!

As more people get vaccinated, there are fewer and fewer left to get it. Of course there's going to be a decline in first shots. and then a decline in demand.

And the liars are basically telling us that herd immunity can only be gotten through vaccinations and that is decidedly NOT true.

Herd immunity, for the history of mankind, was reached when people got sick with the disease.

And there's no way on God's green earth to know how many people are already immune because they were absolutely not testing in the early days of the *pandemic*.

I was sick in April of 2020 and spent days in bed. Took me two weeks to get over it and then a few months to get my strength back. But they would not test because there weren't enough tests to go around, so unless you could PROVE that you had contact with an already tested positive case of COVID, no test for you.

So essentially NO ONE knows how many people have had it and how many are immune.

Any guess at numbers is pure speculation.

// Herd immunity was a prohibited term until the left started using it to coarse vaccinations. They continue to ignore natural immunity. //

Yeah, I noticed those. “Herd immunity” not only prohibited, but outright deliriously derided when we referred to desirability of natural immunity.

// This is a farce.//

Chinese virus plandemic kabuki continues

How much is a bottle of 60 3mg ivermectin pills nowadays?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

not cheap.

If you are willing to wait a few weeks, you canget them cheaply in 3 mg, 6 mg or 12 mg tablets.

Chose a company and send a message for a quote. They sell wholesale.
