[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4528500, member: 63706"] From the end of the article: "Herd immunity isn’t the answer to stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2... Once a vaccine is developed for this virus, establishing herd immunity is one way to help protect people in the community who are vulnerable or have low functioning immune systems." Translation: Herd immunity from natural immunity = bad Herd immunity from vaccination = good Why this is wrong: Herd immunity = herd immunity, by their logic bad = good. They may fail to develop an effective vaccine, or if people can become reinfected a vaccine won't help and herd immunity will be impossible. If that is the case we will never be able to stop the virus without stopping all human contact for well over a month or two. Since it will be impissible to do that, and if herd immunity/vaccines don't pan out, there is literally nothing we can do to stop the virus, and we are back to doing our best to protect the weak and let the strong continue to provide.
