US Unlikely to Reach Herd Immunity,<br />According to Experts.<br />As daily vaccination rates decline, <br />experts now predict the United States <br />will not reach a point ...<br />... where enough Americans are protected <br />from the virus to eliminate the pathogen.<br />New variants are spreading too quickly and <br />the vaccinations are proceeding too slowly for<br />herd immunity to be reached anytime soon, if ever.<br />Scientists and public health experts instead <br />believe that the virus will continue to <br />circulate on a more manageable level.<br />The continuation of immunizations is still crucial <br />to getting severe infections under control.<br />The virus is unlikely to go away. <br />But we want to do all we can to check that it’s likely to become <br />a mild infection. , Emory University evolutionary biologist Rustom Antia, <br />via ‘The New York Times’
