At least 58% of U.S. population has natural antibodies from previous Covid infection, CDC says

The increase in antibody prevalence was most pronounced among children, indicating a high rate of infection among kids during the winter omicron wave. About 75% of children and teenagers now have antibodies from past Covid infections, up from about 45% in December.
 
Got my 2nd booster (Moderna for all) today, and purely by coincidence my local PBS affiliate was re-showing "The American Experience" episode from 2009 titled "The Polio Crusade", and I wound up re-watching it. I first saw this when they re-showed it a year or two ago long after its original broadcast (given the obvious topical relevance), and the difference in the American public's reaction to vaccinating kids then and now is quite startling. Well worth watching. I can only say how happy I've always been that I was born after polio vaccines were available.

The episode appears to be available in whole or maybe just in part on YouTube, or streaming.

Dr. Fauci was eligible for his COVID booster shot so Stephen took him next door to the pharmacy to get vaccinated — and they had quite the journey.
