THREE YEARS AGO THIS MONTH … THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DE- CLARED COVID-19 A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

{**TAKE VO**}
SO JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD COVID TO DATE? WELL — AT LEAST EIGHTY-SIX PERCENT OF U-S CHILDREN HAVE COVID ANTI- BODIES FROM AN INFECTION. THAT’S ACCORDING TO THE C-D-C. DOCTOR GEORGE DUBROCQ (DUE-BROCK) — A PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DI- SEASE EXPERT — SAYS THE DATA MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW LONG COVID-19 HAS BEEN AROUND.

If you have the disease for longer than three years, it eventually becomes endemic. It just lives in the community, and, uh, many people are going to get infected and not show any symptoms. So the results of the study do not surprise me that a lot of people have antibodies.

THE C-D-C SAYS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS ANTIBODIES DOESN’T MEAN THEY CAN’T BECOME REINFECTED … WHICH IS WHY DOCTOR DUBROCQ (DUE- BROCK) SAYS GETTING VACCINATED REMAINS IMPORTANT.
