      Here's my one and only COVID-19 prediction: those people calling for a herd immunity approach now, when we have to get infected to be immune, are going to be super mad when we have a vaccine and it is about vaccine mandates

      "I want herd immunity!" "Ok, let's vaccinate everybody" "...no not like that"

          I get that many perfectly decent, and politically naive, people have it in their minds that someone could/would/should mandate that people take a vaccine that the entire planet knows was rushed to market. Elected officials who do that will need to find a new line of work.

          If vaccinating everyone works, great, let’s do that. But every vaccinologist I’ve seen has suggested that we’re batshit insane if we think one will be ready by next year — after we’re hit by the tsunami of cases no less.

          The CEO of Merck artfully suggested that everyone who asserts that that’s possible is a swindler — and he’s the CEO of the MERCK.

          Unfortunately, as the half sister of an anti vaxxer that wants everyone to have herd immunity.... um..... (quietly weeps)

          The good news is that the yet nonexistant Covid19 vaccine will give us a third eye, which could come in handy, like a spare tyre

          By definition you don't have to vaccinate everybody for herd immunity. Just mostly everybody
