Johns Hopkins Doctor Dismisses Walensky Fear-Mongering: 'Most Of The Country Is At Herd Immunity'.....

Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, disputed CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky's contention that COVID-19 variants could set back the march to herd immunity from COVID-19 during a Thursday afternoon appearance on Fox News' "The Story."

Walensky on Wednesday called the various COVID-19 scariants, er, variants a "wild card" that could "reverse" the progress made so far.


In an op-ed for the New York Post published Tuesday titled "Don’t buy the fearmongering: The COVID-19 threat is waning," Makary argued against buying into the "fear" that variants could "evade vaccines."


Look at the facts: About 57 percent of adults are vaccinated and approximately half of unvaccinated people have natural immunity from prior infection. That’s why US cases have been plummeting, down 31 percent over the past 18 days.

To put things in context, during the mildest flu season in the last eight years, there were 24 million cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and approximately 447,000 daily cases during its peak week. By comparison, we’re averaging 49,641 daily COVID cases. That same mild flu season resulted in 280,000 hospitalizations. By comparison, current COVID hospitalizations as of May 1 are 34,905.

Let me be clear: COVID is not the flu, and we should not downplay the risk among susceptible people. But for the millions of Americans who are immune and live where the cases are low, the public-health threat is now defanged and below seasonal-flu levels. Given the harm of social isolation, we need to abandon the goal of absolute risk elimination at all cost.


The Johns Hopkins surgeon went on to debunk the desire among some health officials, sometimes referred to as "zero COVID," that COVID-19 can be eradicated completely.....snip~

Oh another John Hopkins medical person. Well that puts a major Dent in the Blue States Demo controlled narrative.

Can Dr Fauci come out to play?

Must be a bunch of far right anti science boys over there at Johns Hopkins. We all know, because joe biden told us, that we need to continue to fear Covid like we need to fear Freddy Kruger and The Chupacabra

[RMNIXON]

The CDC and the Biden people do not want to let go.....

It looks like CA might be wearing Masks and other precautions the rest of the year in spite of having gone from epidemic to "Mild" COVID levels.

For example LA County is down to 1.6 reported Covid cases per 100,000 but we can't ditch the Masks!

It was okay for John Hopkins to run the tallies on the infected, hospitalizations, and deaths. The leftness and the Lame Stream had no problem with it. But now they will have a problem with this Doctor and the other one coming out against the Fauci narrative.
