re: “Experts” now saying we aren’t going to get to herd immunity

How many times do the experts have to be wrong before we can stop calling them experts?

Herd immunity has always been a goal, and a “stretch goal” at that, not a prediction. Human behavior is one of the most important factors in assessing and predicting public health situations. It makes sense that assessments and forecasts will change based on that. As we now see vaccine acceptance beginning to level off (and even drop in some areas), not surprising to see chances of achieving herd immunity drop accordingly.

from local to the fed gov, all forms of gov are reluctant to release power.

This is certifiably false. There are large swaths of the country with no virus-related restrictions.

At what point can we stop calling these idiots "experts"?

Lots of doctors disagree with so called experts especially phony Fauci , but most are threatened and told to shut up or else

Viruses


Coronaviruses are a group of viruses known for causing the common cold. They have a halo or crown-like (corona) appearance when viewed under an electron microscope.
The common cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract which can be caused by many different viruses. The most commonly implicated is a rhinovirus (30–80%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.[30] Other commonly implicated viruses include human coronaviruses (˜ 15%),[31][32] influenza viruses (10–15%),[33][34][35] adenoviruses (5%),[33] human respiratory syncytial virus (orthopneumovirus), enteroviruses other than rhinoviruses, human parainfluenza viruses, and human metapneumovirus.[36] Frequently more than one virus is present.[37] In total, more than 200 viral types are associated with colds.[4]

Prior to COVID-19:

---

A novel coronavirus SARS coronavirus was identified to be a causative agent for SARS. Since its discovery, many trials have been executed to establish the prophylactic and therapeutics toward SARS using laboratory animals. A number of different types of vaccines, such as inactivated virus vaccine, subunit vaccine, DNA vaccine and vaccine using viral expression vector as well as attenuated live vaccine so far reported indicate that neutralizing antibodies play an important role for protection. However, vaccine applicable to humans with the high efficacy and safety has not yet been reported.

Never a successful vaccine for the cold virus

---

Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers.”

So, the flu?

Like covid 19 was a really potent flu strain?

Like let’s end western civilization over a really potent flu strain?

Experts” have been dead wrong on several fronts since the start of this mess

And their king, Fauci the Weasel-Hearted, is an admitted liar.

And big pharma who the conspiracy theorists all believe is in bed the government in this..... is thrilled that they can continue to develop new covid vaccines to sell to the masses. The anti vaxxers are giving big pharma more power..... more irony
