Most Americans should have protection from the virus.

NUMBERS INDICATE IMMUNIZATION IS AS GOOD AS IT WILL GET

WHY DOES EVERYONE CONTINUE TO IGNORE COVID SURVIVORS?

We keep hearing that only 50% of Americans are immunized, but their own numbers question that assumption. The CDC claims 166 million are fully vaccinated and 195 million have had at least 1 shot. 

We are also told that 36 million have tested positive for the virus and they admit that they have a similar immunity as the vaccine. Mostly they ignore those who have had covid, like it is immaterial to their numbers. Everything that has been written claims a very similar or better immunity as the vaccine. 

Now it is estimated that the number of covid infected is double what they have actually tested, so we could add another 36 million if they would do covid antibody sampling.

166  fully vaccinated   195 at least one dose

  72  have had covid      72  have had covid

238  million                 267  million

Now the population of those under 18 is estimated at 74 million. There are still a lot of questions about the vaccine for those under 18 and it is not approved for those under 12. 

So if you add that number to those who have had covid and those who are vaccinated we come to 312. If we add those who have had a least one shot we come to 369 million.  The U.S. population is supposed to be around 330 million. So it likely the vast majority of Americans are protected from the virus either through a vaccine or having had the virus, except for children. 

As far as the immunity gained from having the virus, all the research so far has claimed you do have a strong immunity from further bouts from the virus. Health professionals have said you can get only 1 shot if you have been previously exposed and some have said no shot is needed. Some have claimed it could be dangerous to have the vaccine after being infected with covid. The CDC has not made any definitive conclusions or made statements about this.

Until there is actual anti-body sampling we will not know how many have had the disease. There is still a lot we don't know, both about the virus and its effects and the vaccine.
