I'm surprised the CDC is allowed to say anything, maybe they are speaking out now because of the dire emergency, they will be fired for it!
So there will be almost 100 million immune Americans by the time the vaccine is deployed?
A new government report calculates that by the end of September as many as 53 million Americans had actually been infected; that is just under eight times the confirmed cases reported at the time

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that the United States is still missing nearly eight
coronavirus infections for every one counted.
Daily US deaths from COVID-19 on Wednesday hit 2,284, the highest since May 7, according to data from
The Covid Tracking Project.
It is the second day running that more than 2,000 people have died.
The number of people hospitalized on Wednesday reached a single day record of 89,954, the 16th day of record hospitalizations; the seven day average is 84,840.
The record numbers came as a CDC report calculates that by the end of September as many as 53 million Americans had actually been infected - just under eight times the confirmed cases reported at the time.
Previously, the
CDC estimated that one of every 10 infections were being missed.
The latest CDC calculation is meant to give a more accurate picture of how many people actually have caught the virus since the pandemic began. Of the 53 million estimated infections, the CDC says about 45 million were sick at some point and about 2.4 million were hospitalized.

The daily death toll across the country spiked to 2,146 Tuesday, which had been the highest since May 8
The number of people testing positive Wednesday hit 182,573; the seven day average stands at 172,081. Both California and Texas recorded their highest single-day case count to date.
Around 1.7 million people were tested Wednesday. The US currently leads the world with the highest number of deaths and cases with the death toll surpassing 262,000 and infections nationwide topped 12.7 million.
And former White House medical team adviser Dr Jonathan Reiner warned that Thanksgiving would lead to a massive surge in cases.
'It's potentially the mother of all superspreader events,' Reiner told CNN.
Nine states, including North Dakota, Ohio, Washington,
Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Oregon, Maine and
Alaska, reported record numbers of deaths Tuesday.
The US has repeatedly set daily records for the number of hospitalizations for the past month and 30 of the 50 states have reported a record number of COVID-19-related hospitalizations in November alone.
Dr Anthony Fauci has already warned that the true impact of Thanksgiving travel and gatherings won't be seen for another three weeks when infections and hospitalizations could surge even higher.
