--------------------
In a February 2021 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, Makary predicted that "At the current trajectory", COVID-19 in the United States would "be mostly gone by April" 2021, primarily as a result of naturally acquired immunity, which would result in herd immunity.[39] The article's estimates of herd immunity were criticized for being higher than the best available data supported.[40] Later that year, the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 caused hundreds of thousands of additional deaths in the United States.[5]
-------------------
I'm sure Dr. Makary is an intelligent physician, but 'Intelligence' does not equal 'Wisdom'...he should stay in his lane of Abdominal Surgery and yield to the consensus opinions of trained and experienced Infectious Disease Specialists, who deal with epidemics and pandemics on a daily basis.
