Without A Vaccine, Researchers Say, Herd Immunity May Never Be Achieved

Mon, 2020-07-27 09:57 — mike kraft

"I will be right eventually," the president told Fox News host Chris Wallace. "It's going to disappear, and I'll be right."

But scientists are increasingly of the view that this virus will not disappear. In interviews and correspondence with more than a dozen researchers around the world, NPR found that the vast majority believes the virus will persist at some level for a long time in places like the U.S. and Europe.
