It's great to hear another point of view on this topic and agree with the risk/reards and missteps by the Federal government, but I have some questions -

It's great to hear another point of view on this topic and agree with the risk/reards and missteps by the Federal government, but I have some questions -
(1) how do you measure immunity? How would I know that I'm immune to covid without an accurate antibody test? If one size doesn't fit all, as the doctor said, then how can we guarantee that my immunity level = everyone else's? And what about new variants?
(2) How can you explain that covid mortality is mainly among people with certain health conditions when you had an extraordinary surge in India this year, a country with a younger average age than the US and lower rates of obesity, etc.? According to what I've read and heard first-hand from friends and colleagues, many of the people who perished lived on crowded conditions without access to sufficient medical care whereas those with more means were able to gain access to the vaccine or lived in states with more covid-related restrictions.
(3) Dr. Makary claimed in February 2021 that we should be at herd immunity by April. As science isn't exact and he wouldn't have a crystal ball, the fact that he made this claim with such a strong degree of fervency causes me to question his reliability.
