DETROIT, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) â Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey attracted criticism after making statements on a WJR-AM radio interview this past Monday.
He suggested in the interview that state health officials should be including the 2-million-plus people who have recovered from COVID-19, inaccurately indicating that they had a natural immunity. He went on to say that would give Michigan the 70 percent immunity supporting full re-opening. According to federal health officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the rate of re-infection is still being studied and at this point is unclear, especially with the number of mutations, or variants, present in the U.S.
