I didn't mention elderly. Everybody knows they have an issue with T cells which is the whole reason they are disproportionately hit by this. Better we had shielded them and all got community immunity to then break the chains of transmission for when they reappear. Lockdowns bad

I mean, have you read the article that you've just tweeted at me? It actually is not great news for herd immunity, because it suggests that neutralizing antibodies may decline over time. While t-cells may protect against SEVERE infections, they do not prevent infection altogether

Indeed, this article implies that herd immunity is probably an unreachable goal, because those who are infected are likely to experience reinfections (albeit less severe) as antibodies wane
