According to the Center for Disease Control, almost 60% of Americans have been infected with coronavirus during the period of pandemic. This includes three of four children.
The study concluded that nearly 200 million Americans have been affected by the disease. These are the results. officialAlthough the total number is only 81,000,000, it is calculated by adding up all individuals with positive results. This higher number is due to the CDC interpolating data from blood samples. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood were interpreted as a sign of a coronavirus virus infection.
Between December 2021 and February 2019, the Omicron strain, which is highly infectious, saw a dramatic increase in infection rates. “The highest jump in antibody detection was among children and adolescents,” said Dr. Kristie Clarke, a pediatrician who led the study for the CDC.
The CDC was quick to respond in the usual fashion, promoting boosters and vaccinations once again. Clark noted that it’s important to point out that the results:
…cannot be interpreted as protection from future infection. The best way to avoid complications from COVID-19 is to keep up-to-date on vaccines, even if there are a few people who have had previous infections.
Listening to a broken record is much more engaging than listening to the average CDC spokesperson.
This data comes at a time when many politicians, including Vice President Kamala Harris who announced the news on Tuesday, have been recently diagnosed with the virus. Per RedState’s Susie Moore:
…this news comes not long after other high-profile D.C. figures have tested positive, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), and Harris’ new Communications Director, Jamal Simmons.
The White House addressed the nightmare scenario President Joe Biden might face:
“He is vaccinated and boosted. He is well-protected. He’s got very good protocols around him to protect him from getting infected,” White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha said. “But there is no 100% anything. I think the key focus has got to be we’ve got to continue protecting the president.”
There are also unsolved cases in children of hepatitis. It is unclear if there’s any connection to COVID or vaccines, as DailyMail explains:
Experts are not sure what is causing the spike in cases, but it has been suggested that lockdowns weakening children’s immunity and even a previous Covid infection may be to blame.
The good news about the new CDC numbers is that we are that much closer to achieving herd immunity, although former TV star Dr. Anthony Fauci has changed his tune and now claims that herd immunity for COVID “almost certainly is an unattainable goal.” He’s been wrong many times, so let’s hope he’s wrong again.
We can’t leave you without an Elon Musk mention, so here you go:
Fauci will probably ask the CDC to block Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter due to #COVID concerns.
