Is a vaccine the only way to return to normal after COVID-19? New research into the virus suggests not — that the infection rate may drop to tiny levels before then.
Since the spring, scientists have known the virus’s infection fatality rate — how many people it kills compared to the number it infects — is under 1 percent, perhaps as low as 0.2 percent. That lower figure translates into one death for every 500 people infected.
We have also known that deaths are seriously skewed by age. The media says older people are at “more” risk from the novel coronavirus than younger people. That’s true,

Herd immunity makes this "vaccine" unnecessary, and the fact that Dr. Fraud and Bill Gates are pushing it so hard....hard pass. We would have been beyond the freak out if we hadn't locked everyone down and forced them to wear a stupid mask. Thank China for the propaganda freaking people out at the beginning.

My county has good data online, over 600,000 people.
age range deaths
0-9 0
10-19 0
20-29 1
30-39 0
40-49 2
50-59 0
60-69 6
70-79 18
over 80 89
92% of the deaths are over 70 years old. 77% are over 80.
If you are in good health and under 50 your chances of dying are about 1 or 2 in a million. As you look at younger groups, the death rate is vanishingly small, even in 600,000 people sample, zero deaths in most of those age ranges. One death in the 20s age range, likely some serious health issues preexisting. The two under 40 deaths occurred very early, March or first week of April, IIRC, probably had some very fragile health situation.
Let all the folks under age 40 do whatever THEY choose to do. Lots will get it, recover easily and quickly, and be immune. Herd immunity will then keep the rest of us from getting it, 'general spread' will end.

In Texas, per the Texas Department of State Health Services, as of yesterday afternoon Texas had 11,576 deaths. ZERO were children under 10. Only 11 deaths in 10-19 age group. Between 20 and 29 account for 19% of infections, but only .06% (or 6 out of 10,000) deaths. Texas has had 586,730 confirmed cases, 466,550 of those have recovered already. Those 70 and over account for only 7.5% of cases, but 59% of deaths.

If the pandemic wanes as appears to be happening, it become scientifically impossible to actually measure any benefit from a vaccine. Just because a vaccine induces the body to produce antibodies does NOT mean those antibodies will protect someone.

Will people please stop with the “older population” scare tactics? Yes, older Americans are at a higher risk of death, as they are with ALL diseases. But, from someone who is in the lower end of that high risk group, I’d like to point out that the risk of death, even for the elderly, is still comparatively small. All we’re doing with this constant drumbeat is scaring the bejesus out of senior citizens who think that if they poke their head for one minute out of their dwelling, they will instantly die. Even good news statistics are reported as if deaths of the elderly are of little consequence. Enough of this. We are all entitled to a full life and I have seen firsthand the damage this fear and isolation is doing.

Not only that, but the world wide consensus on the great effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, if used early, makes this “pandemic” seem minor. A vaccine presently seems foolish. Certainly “mandating” one would be resisted by most thinking people. Predicting a mandation before the vaccine is even tested and approved, as in Virginia, is stupid in the extreme. Where did this guy (fool), come from? Perhaps he likes to kill babies also, like the Gov. I live in the formerly great state of Virginia.

Actually #5, I believe that if the vaccine is made for the virus, the antibodies will be protective.
That is how a vaccines work. Some of the flu vaccines, made many months before the flu arrives, accidentally are made for a the wrong flu virus, so won't protect against a virus it wasn't designed to protect against. Since we know this virus, the vaccines will be designed and created to protect against it.

Fauci owns 50% of the patent for the vaccine & stands to profit $millions, which is why Fauci & CDC are squashing alternatives and rushing an untested product.
No way will Fauci poison ever enter my body.
