Will The COVID-19 , Pandemic Ever End?.

The strength of vaccines has

But he says the virus's ability to
evolve makes it incredibly hard to predict.
...we now see much more extensive transmission
and much more uniform
spread globally. This makes declaring the end of the pandemic more difficult. , Dr. Arnold Monto, professor of epidemiology University of Michigan, via CNN.

the spread of COVID-19.

Around 58% of
the United States
is fully vaccinated.
Around 58% of
the United States
is fully vaccinated.
We have to get somewhere well north of 80%, possibly even well north of 90% of the population with immunity either through having had infection or through having had vaccinations. , Dr. Phillip Landrigan, former CDC-epidemiologist Boston College, via CNN
