Well about 125 people with a connection to medicine did ask that. Dr. Fauci, in response said that would be a mistake.
The facts have no agenda, they are just the facts. The OP is a good researcher and has presented well thought out posts. Stop with the criticism already. If you don't agree, post research to back up your point, not opinion.
The OP has NEVER said the virus is fake, a ruse, nor said anything about not wearing masks. To the contrary, he has been very consistent in his views about this virus, that it is deadly and we should take common sense precautions like wearing masks and social distancing. What the OP HAS said and posted are data points regarding the true state of this virus.
I had the Asian Flu in 1957 and was hospitalized for 5 days because I couldn't shake my 104 degree fever. Sickest I've ever been in my life.
I take this disease seriously and wear a mask when in stores or crowds (which I avoid), carry sanitizer wherever I go, and wash my hands when I come back from a store. But I will not let this virus prevent me from living life.

Yet another study showing T cell immunity in large percentage of population, this is the 4th one I have seen confirming this, all in different parts of the world.
Singapore scientists uncover SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in recovered COVID-19 and SARS patients, and in uninfected individuals.
Singapore study shows that SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells are present in all recovered COVID-19 patients.
These T cells were also found in all subjects who recovered from SARS 17 years ago, and in over 50% of both SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 uninfected individuals tested, suggesting that a level of pre-existing SARS-CoV-2 immunity is present in the general population.
Infection and exposure to coronaviruses induces long-lasting memory T cells, which could help in the management of the virus.
Scientists Uncover Evidence That a Level of Pre-Existing COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Immunity Is Present in the General Population
So when you add up the large number of untested asymptomatics out there and even larger number of T cell immunes, you get a herd immunity threshold that is much lower - after the virus picks off the easy targets and infects a fairly small percentage of people, it loses steam and burns out. Just like in New York or Sweden.
