51.6M vaccinated plus the 30M cases puts us at 81.6M people (roughly) who can no longer spread the disease. Most epidemiologists not named Fauci believe we have to get to roughly 60% (196M) before reaching heard immunity.
So, we’re not half-way there, but we’re close to have-way there. And at our current vaccination pace, we should easily obtain substantive herd immunity sometime this summer, probably around July.
Until then (and likely after then), there are plenty of people who are fully invested in the Panic Theater continuing.
I heard someone say, that Dr. Fauci et al, have a vested interest in panic continuing, because Dr. Fauci will fade into obscurity once the pandemic is over.
That’s part of why we hear these warnings, and talk of how the variants are a danger, even if we get the vaccine against the original virus.
30M cases puts us at 81.6M people (roughly) who can no longer spread the disease.
Multiply cases by 3 to 5 for true number of cases because 3 to 5 times as many people never bother to get tested cause theyre young and cases mild, totalling 150m, then add 100m total test subjects also by end of April, equals 250m.
Herd immunity guaranteed by end of April,
