    While we're at it, can we work on shifting our nomenclature from "herd immunity" to "community immunity?" I think herd immunity carries some bad connotations for some, like we're just following the pack. Community immunity implies that we are working together to achieve a goal.

        Capitalists using “Herd immunity” goes right along with capitalists calling us “Human Capital Stock” - it doesn’t refer to us as people, it refers to us as animals.

        But the root of the word community is "commune" which is also the root of communism, so they won't go with that either

        I agree. Perhaps that’s why people who vaccinate are callled sheep by anti-Vaxers We are a herd of animals like sheep or cattle being controlled for the benefit of the herder. At least that’s how one could look at it.

        In the current circumstance, ‘Herd’ is very appropriate: a group of animals/ humans blindly following their bellicose herder.
