Has herd immunity been attained in the U.S.? Most likely!

As of today, over 60% of the entire U.S. adult population are fully vaccinated. For the population ≥ 65 years of Age it is almost 80%. (Source)

You add to that over 30 Million cases of recovered individuals, who acquired natural immunity. (Source) Unfortunately, I am not aware of a statistics that shows how many recovered individuals were vaccinated after infection. Thus, ruling out any significant overlap between these groups, then another roughly 14% of the adult population of the U.S. are naturally immunized. It is also very disturbing that in the daily discourse about the pandemic, the large population of recovered individuals is typically omitted or ignored!

Hence, adding up the fully vaccinated adult population and the naturally immunized adult population yields a total of roughly 75% of the adult population of the U.S. are protected from Covid-19! In my humble view, this represents herd immunity! One can probably safely assume herd immunity is achieved if at least 67% (2/3) to 75% (3/4) of the population are protected. Such a level of protection ought to slow down the infection rate of the virus. Perhaps, only the highest paid employee in the federal government, i.e. the 80 year old clown Anthony Fauci, would disagree with me.

Given these facts, it is totally absurd that We The People are still inundated on a daily basis with phony mask, vaccination passport or workplace vaccination requirements etc.

Let's return to normal life again ASAP! We The People have suffered enough scaremongering and hysteria and from incompetent elected politicians!
