If we are to believe the media, heard immunity is when 50-90% (depending on the contagion rate) of the population is immune to a virus.
Currently, 27% of the US is half vaccinated (single shot) with 43% fully vaccinated.
Although, people who have previously had COVID only need one shot.
So, how many people in the US have had COVID? At least 21% have had COVID. But this is a misnomer because in fact the infection is about 10x worse than reported!
So there are no real numbers to base this off of, and 10 x 20 = 100%, so that cannot be correct. Regardless, even if the numbers of infected were merely double, 2x instead of 10x as reported by NPR, that would be 42% of the population having had COVID. Add in the amount of people who are fully vaccinated 69%, and if we extrapolate that 42% of people who got the single shot only needed a single dose to begin with, then we can add another 18%, or 87%. Is this not enough for heard immunity? Keep in mind, this is only doubling the rate of reported infected when news outlets are suggesting the rate of infection is actually 10x. So my real question here is, when will our leader be satiated in feeling we (the US) have reached heard immunity? Will it only be after 80% of people get fully vaccinated and the bio-tech firms repaid for their endeavors?
*Full disclosure here, I do not think the vaccine is necessary, and yet I am surrounded by fearful individuals so after much of my own research into mRNA, I felt entirely confident that the 2-shot vaccines were completely safe so I am now fully vaccinated myself. I made this choice for myself to visit my grandmother who is in here 90's, and to travel abroad without problems, but I will reiterate, I do not feel it was necessary. Many people I personally know and apparently myself had COVID and were entirely asymptomatic! I got sick on my first dose like prior COVID patients did, and had zero effect onmy second dose.
