Emerging story

Social media users and news sources are circulating an article by Bloomberg in which they claim that the Coronavirus pandemic will end in 7 years and that life will then return to normal.

Bloomberg made the prediction using the basis that the path to immunity is an average of 75% vaccination according to Anthony Fauci, they then built the biggest database of global Covid-19 vaccinations with more than 119 million doses administered worldwide.

Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker “uses the most recent rolling average of vaccinations, which means that as vaccination numbers pick up, the time needed to hit the 75% threshold will fall.”

The calculations are based on the current two doses required for full vaccinations. Given their real-time data, 75% will be reached in 7 years, this is because although some countries are fast on track to reaching the threshold such as Israel and the United Arab Emirates, two-thirds of countries are yet to begin vaccination programs.
