In March, Makary continued to bring the public's atention to herd immunity, saying Fauci "Needs to put up or shut up" on his fearmongering.
"Anthony Fauci has been saying that the country needs to vaccinate 70% to 85% of the population to reach herd immunity from Covid-19. But he inexplicably ignores natural immunity. If you account for previous infections, herd immunity is likely close at hand."
Some 80% to 85% of American adults are immune to the virus: More than 64% have received at least one vaccine dose and, of those who haven't, roughly half have natural immunity from prior infection.
There's ample scientific evidence that natural immunity is effective and durable, and public-health leaders should pay it heed.
Natural immunity is durable.
The authors concluded that prior Covid infection induces a "Robust" and "Long-lived humoral immune response," leading some scientists to suggest that natural immunity is probably lifelong.
Because infection began months earlier than vaccination, we have more follow-up data on the duration of natural immunity than on vaccinated immunity.
