"We should appreciate young adults who help generate herd immunity by living normal lives and keeping society afloat. When people throw misguided complaints at you, falsely claiming that you are endangering others, remember that the opposite is true."https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/herd-immunity-is-still-key-in-the-fight-against-covid-19 …

Afaik, herd immunity is only achievable with a vaccine. Previous diseases like smallpox or polio could only be eliminated once vaccine available. Too little known about long-term neurological effects of covid 19 to offer up young people as guinea pigs imo.
Herd immunity and eradication/elimination is not the same thing. In human history, only two diseases have been eradicated, smallpox and rinderpest, both with the help of a vaccine.
