Have you read anything about Herd Immunity?

I don’t see your background in immunology or any medical degrees/PhDs/DPhils in your bio? What’s your background to tell someone with significant training they haven’t? Can you link to the peer reviewed studies? Seems you left an emoji instead.

Let me break it down for you. You need almost 100% vax rate to have herd immunity by vaccine Our current number of vaccinated adults according to the cdc is less than 70%.. There is no herd immunity. So instead of talking down to people, do some simple research

You're talking about the yearly rate for the seasonal influenza vaccine there. Rates for most other vaccines - I.e. DTaP, MMR, HBV - are much higher in the US at around 90-95%

Oh? Then you are incorrect. 90-95% for most routine vaccines unless we're talking specific disadvantaged groups

Indeed. Most herd immunity is reached in children, because otherwise they all catch the diseases and that's obviously not ideal

Who's being disingenuous? Certain vaccines don't give lifelong immunity - in particular the DTaP - and so are recommended for adults as well, but even then the severity of infections is reduced and transmissibility lessened. This isn't true for most diseases, fortunately
