    Actual epidemiologists have been saying THIS WHOLE TIME that you should never, ever use the term "herd immunity" except in the context of vaccinationhttps://twitter.com/culturalfatwa/status/1301450478518177792 …

        the point of herd immunity is to vaccinate as many people as possible to protect the small percentage of people who cannot be vaccinated because of other health issues. Lacking a vaccine the "herd immunity" strategy we are working with here is... face masks, social distancing.

        Technically, you just need to vaccinate “enough” people to keep outbreaks from happening where “enough” depends on the infectiousness of the disease. There’s a formula for computing a default level which gives ~60% for COVID and 95% for measles.

        Miss Alissa Retweeted Miss Alissa

        Yeah, I was just saying—from what I’ve seen the past several months—the people who‘ve been (incorrectly) using that term, were always far from epidemiologists, but pretty close to eugenistshttps://twitter.com/themstems/status/1300644730032668674?s=21 …

        Miss Alissa added,

        Miss Alissa @themstems
        The people who have pushed the idea of ‘herd immunity,’ have never really been talking about community immunity—which will ultimately require a vaccine. These people are saying, ‘herd immunity,’ but what they actually mean, is, ‘culling the herd.’

        Replying to @arthur_affect

        I’ve been screaming about this since March!! We never developed herd immunity against diseases with higher r0 values, like measles (which is like r12-13, covid is r2-3) and chicken pox. Def need better reporting that explains herd immunity is tied to vaccination not infection.

        Replying to @arthur_affect @ElizaJupiter

        The problem is that people see a catchy phrase like "herd immunity" and run with it without really understanding it. It's so frustrating because their argument is often something like "well you said it, and now you don't believe in it because it doesn't fit your narrative?"

        I still think they used "herd immunity" because they simply needed a catchy term for their "do nothing and let the weak and the poors die" strategy.

        Partly this but mostly they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. 'Super-predictors", my arse!

        When did the phrase come into use the way people are using it to mean “let the disease burn through the population?”
