It is non-sensical to support or not support herd immunity. It is a scientifically proven phenomena that we will reach through a combination of vaccines and natural infection. It's like airplane pilots saying they support or do not support gravity.https://twitter.com/PHE_uk/status/1349688865523695622 …

Quote from Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at Public Health England:

'It is false to claim that PHE supports herd immunity from COVID-19 infection as a way out of the pandemic.

Vaccines are critical to our COVID-19 response and it is right that we prioritise those most at risk of severe illness and death first.

We do not yet know whether vaccines prevent transmission of this virus and that is why it is critical that everyone continues to socially distance and practises good hand and respiratory hygiene, following the principles of Hands, Face, Space.

Everyone needs to do this, regardless of whether they have had the vaccine or not.'

  Sad, like the IEEE saying they don't support using electrons for electricity.

  I think this statement from PHE goes to show that even in some of the most eminent minds, herd immunity has come to mean something it is not.
