      This doesn’t make any sense. Of course vaccines have everything to do with it. The correct point would be to say keeping up mitigations just a bit more really helps the downturn: exponential threats turn into exponential decay on the way down. But vaccines are powerful.https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1386688757441732615 …

      Confirmed new cases of #COVID19 have fallen across most of the USA - very good news. But it's not due to #vaccines -- les than a third of Americans are fully vaccinated. The downturn is thanks to masks & distancing. Common sense rocks. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20210426&instance_id=29747&nl=the-morning&regi_id=80724309&segment_id=56387&te=1&user_id=539834d832680a57fa7414bdd30c20e6 …

      You think less than a third vaccinated would produce a downturn? Everything to do with it and no other factors?

      Okay. The overall trend is downward. And yet at this point how many states can you point to as an examples of state administrations having imposed strict restrictions and causing that decline? Only a handful are still going full-bore w/ several states having lifted restrictions.

      Right, so as far as the downturn, it’s not the masks, it’s not the vaccines according to a scientist since we are only 1/3 vaccinated. So Scientists out there, are there other factors?

      Well maybe the fact that so many millions of people have already been infected might also be a factor. They would be as immune as the vaccinated.

      Seems obvious right? But no scientists will say this?

      That is just not true. Every reputable scientists includes potentially immune folks in their calculations. I can't speak for Twitter folks, but this is not something anyone serious ignores.

          Good! You did not, nor did anyone else when I looked yesterday, mention immunity when criticizing Laurie Garrets statement. You said the downturn had everything to do with vaccinations.
