      This is why the term "herd immunity" outside the context of vaccines should basically be banned from discussionhttps://twitter.com/rachel_elisse/status/1254808574003421186 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Dr. Rachel Coleman @rachel_elisse
      Guys. Guys. I am seeing people asking why we locked down if the lockdown is slowing our ability to get herd immunity. But herd immunity, absent a vaccine, was never the goal! If we reach herd immunity, it will mean we failed. It would mean 2 million people had died. 1/

      It's completely fucked the way people talk about "herd immunity" as a positive thing "Why are we wasting all this time with a parachute when the *easiest* and *fastest* way to slow your descent due to gravity is to simply hit the ground"

          Because a lot of deaths = statistic

          Aren't they trying to say "thinning the herd" euphemistically

          I think they're used to thinking of it as such because it's the reason for vaccinating. It's not quite the same thing when herd immunity requires people to actually survive the disease.

          New York City having 25% of the population with antibodies (and thus presumed immune) is a silver lining to the dark cloud of "tens of thousands of people died", not the goal, and if we'd gotten there in half the time many more people would have died due to lack of hospital beds

          My version of this analogy: Herd immunity *is* the ground. You get there one way or another. It's about the journey, not the destination.
