Mr. Makary stated that the number of people with antibodies through cure and vaccination will contribute significantly to building community immunity in the United States this spring. “When the chain of infection is cut in many places, it becomes even more difficult for the virus to spread, including new strains.”
Some infectious disease experts and the White House are less optimistic than Professor Makary, according to the radio. Fox News. These people are predicting at least until the end of December this year for the United States to achieve public immunity.
