Then why push people to get the vaccine and now to get a booster??? 

CDC study finds over 80% of US adults have some immunity to COVID, notes prior infection offers similar protection as vaccine

A recent survey of blood donations has found that more than 80% of Americans over the age of 16 have some level of immunity to COVID-19 — a figure that could have massive implications on the country's public health policy moving forward.

The survey, conducted by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also found that twice as many people have been infected by the pathogen than have been officially counted, CNN reported. As of Thursday, more than 39 million Americans have tested positive for the virus.

According to CNN, the CDC team, led by Dr. Jefferson Jones, embarked on the study to "determine how close the US might be to some kind of herd immunity." Though the news outlet was sure to mention the researchers "do not claim to have any kind of handle on that yet."

They accomplished the task by testing about 1.4 million blood samples provided by 17 different blood collection organizations from all 50 states...............

Since some 62% of Americans have received at least one vaccine dose, that means some 20% of Americans have "some immunity" solely from having recovered from Covid (some of whom did not know they had had Covid). Why this is a recent study is disgusting. It's not like there were no antibody tests available a year ago (actually, there were 44, https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-daily-roundup-september-4-2020 ).

That seems like a fair estimate... maybe a little on the low side, but not by much.

Fauci and his toadies at the CDC have been increasing the percentage threshold for "herd immunity" to make sure we never reach it.  As an added measure, the CDC no longer factors in natural immunity and says only the vaxxed have it.
