The Fallacy Of Herd Immunity
It is estimated that between 5-20% of people could have developed a degree of immunity so far. Think of all the deaths and disruption that that small amount of infection has caused. It is estimated that between 70-90% of people require immunity to develop "herd immunity." Normally, that would be reached with vaccinations...but if you are talking about COVID-19, where no vaccine exists, you are saying that virtually everyone needs to actually be infected with the disease. That is an insane, suicide plan for a country to adopt. Herd Immunity is not a plan to fight a pandemic, it is a plan to protect a small minority of people who are immuno-compromised or allergic to a vaccine...please stop using this term as if it is actually a strategy to do anything but kill a lot of people.
