A professor at the renowned Johns Hopkins School of Medicine advised Americans recently to “ignore” guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention due to the public health agency’s puzzling refusal to recognize natural immunity from previous infection.
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.

While correct about the fact that natural immunity works, his numbers are questionable. Firstly, many of the vaccinated also already had Covid so the two numbers overlap and cannot simply be added to obtain a number for herd immunity. Secondly, his number for those already infected is based on guess work rather than actual proven data.
It should also be noted that the number of new infections should only be presented as a percentage of those not vaccinated or naturally immune; this would show a very serious number of new infections rather than the rosy picture many are painting.
The government should issue a “Green Pass” to anyone vaccinated or that already had Covid allowing them free rein to enter restaurants, stadiums, or other venues without restrictions. All those not eligible for this “Green Pass” should be forced to pay their own medical bills should they need to be treated for Covid.
WHY SHOULD THEY ” be forced to pay”? Let China PAY FOR ALL DAMAGES CAUSED BY CHINA VIRUS!
