    Nope, thank goodness.  When we all start to think alike we'll be bored out of minds!  :)

    We have NOT reached herd immunity yet

    https://www.beckershospitalreview.com › public-health

     
    As of 6 a.m. EDT May 15, a total of 121,768,268 Americans had been fully vaccinated, or 36.7 percent of the country's population, according to the CDC's data.

    They are playing games with the numbers...natural immunity counts when it comes to herd immunity.

    CDC cases: 114.6M
    .5M death
    (114.6-.5= 114.1M) people with NATURAL immunity. 
    156M people at least one shot....
    (156 +114= 270M) people with immunity

    USA population 332M

    (270÷332=.8162)
    81.62% people in USA have immunity

    USA HAS HERD IMMUNITY OF 81.62%

    If you want to only figure with fully vaxxed people the USA is still at 70%....which is the original goal claimed needed.

    No. You just asked the wrong question for the current situation.
