There is something profoundly stupid running amuck in this administration.
Currently, natural immunity is running light years ahead of the vaccine. YET, this administration refuses to acknowledge the current scientific evidence.
Covid19 will be with us forever. The SARS-1 version, T-cell memory is still present 17 years after infection. All signs are pointing to our bodies duplicating that memory with SARS-2.
About 1/3 of the population will not contract Covid19. Whatever the reason, that has been published in peer reviewed journals. That leaves 2/3 of the population at risk at the beginning of the pandemic. It is apparent that the US population currently has between 60-70% immunity.
I hadn't realized I had been exposed to so many active cases. Was in implement dealer yesterday, found out all 3 of the 4 front line parts guys contracted Covid19. I was in there frequently during their "contagious" phase. Beginning to think I am one of those with natural immunity.
So much to learn, glean from present data.
This administration seems incapable of learning.
Not to be cocky, but I'm with you on the natural and acquired immunity thesis. I have not exactly hidden myself away during this period. Church groups, malls, businesses and other exposure venues. One negative test and one positive test with no symptoms after exposure to a wife with symptoms and a positive test. Not to mention exposure to a son who associates with fraternities and other groups of at risk young adults. No symptoms there either. We (as a population) are much stronger than we think ... but they want us to be afraid. I consider myself a walking test. If I drop dead of Covid, the null hypothesis will have been confirmed.
There is an absolutely huge data base that has accumulated on "the pox" ... and very large studies are pointing toward your conclusions. But just like climate science, "they" will pick and choose those results that they wish to see. I am not an anti-vaxxer. But the political-vaxxers are seriously testing my patience. They should seriously test the patience of all supporters of our constitutional republic. I will not buy the most extreme opinions on the effects of the vaccines until the studies are in. But I am losing faith in our government as an arbitrator of "the truth".
Dr. Fauci loves the limelight. He will say whatever he can to continue to bask in it.
