Johns Hopkins professor says 'ignore the CDC' — 'natural immunity works'
...
Dr. Marty Makary, who also serves as a professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, suggested during a Tuesday appearance on "The Vince Coglianese Show" that 150 million Americans, or "half the country," likely already have natural immunity to COVID-19 due to having been infected with the virus and then recovering.
Yet despite that staggering figure, Makary lamented the fact that the CDC, in concert with Biden administration officials, have neglected to recognize the reality of the situation. Instead, previously infected individuals who decline being vaccinated are routinely "demonized" by health officials who insist that virtually all Americans must be vaccinated before normal life can resume.
But "herd immunity" has already been reached, argued Makary, citing up-to-date vaccination and infection data to suggest that 80% to 85% of Americans are currently protected from the virus.
"I never thought I'd say this, but please ignore the CDC guidance," Makary stated, advising Americans to "live a normal life, unless you are unvaccinated and did not have the infection, in which case you need to be careful."

I'm kinda curious how the heck anyone thinks vaccine immunity works if natural immunity doesn't?
This is why you shouldn't teach evolution* in schools - evidently, it prevents kids from learning to actually think!
*Yep, hyperbolic and completely unfair - but it got you to read the foot note! . But seriously, if no one understands the basics of the theories of vaccination, we really need to revamp science education in schools. Maybe less 'fact' based and more methodology based. Anything that gets people to think this stuff through for themselves.
