Is herd immunity to COVID-19 possible? Experts increasingly say no.
For almost a year, Americans have been looking forward to herd immunity, when enough people are protected through vaccination or past infection to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Once there, public officials have said, masks won't be necessary and hugging and handshakes – not to mention gyms, bars and indoor dining – can return.
But even as more than half of Americans have received at least one dose of vaccine and many others are protected by recent infections, health experts are moving away from the idea of reaching some magic number.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor, doesn't want to talk about herd immunity anymore.
“Rather than concentrating on an elusive number, let's get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can,” he said at a White House briefing last week, a sentiment he's since repeated.

We expect, we demand perfect answers.
In the real world it does not work that way.
What we do, what we should do is the best you can.
Polio. Polio has been wiped out in the United States. It was a horror. I walls a killer.
There were people in a device called an iron lung that would keep them alive till they finally mercifully died.
Before you were allowed to go to school you had to prove you were vaccinated.
Today, imagine the uproar if everyone was forced to get a covid vaccine.
