      It hasn't. They've been in lockdown. The moment they open up their country, they are F*c#ed. NZ hasn't avoided anything, just delayed it

      Now they can vaccinate their population and achieve herd immunity properly without the mass death we are having in the US.

      Mass death? Weren't we told herd immunity doesn't exist? Oh, btw, the vaccine doesn't stop transmission. You still need to mask up, socially distance, quarantine and lockdown. Either NZ opens up and let's the virus rip or it f##ks it's economy and becomes Venezuela Mark II

      "Herd immunity" is a term used to discuss public policy regarding vaccination and should have NEVER been used in any other context

      As far as whether this vaccine provides sterilizing immunity, we don't know because they didn't specifically test for it - testing for real-life transmissibility of the virus is much more difficult than testing whether you have disease symptoms and is not the priority

      But the basic way this vaccine works means that in order to keep you from getting COVID-19 the vaccine *must* cause the body to produce neutralizing antibodies Logically it probably does reduce transmissibility, we just don't know by how much and whether it gets down to zero

      Anyway, you are flat out incorrect about the public policy situation in NZ NZ's population is seeing a huge economic upswing as they head into Christmas *without* any lockdowns, because they've gotten down to zero cases without the use of a vaccine

      The thing that's "locked down" in NZ is letting people from *other* countries into their borders, thanks to the massive public policy failures in the rest of the world

      This is obviously not ideal, since they do have a fair amount of tourism income, but the overall situation is obviously worse for the US and UK economies - a LOT worse - than it is for them

      The idea that lockdown is a permanent no-win scenario that you can't get out of until you achieve "herd immunity" is, of course, mindless defeatism from idiots who don't know the basic way an infectious disease works

      If we could lock down the whole world for 14 days the virus would vanish forever That's how a virus works, that's its basic weakness - it's not really alive, it can only grow inside a human body, and it can only do so for so long before it needs to jump elsewhere

          And potentially a bunch of other human only no other reservoir viruses besides. Damn, thinking about it it's a pity we can't do that.

          not quite, since it has other reservoirs (cats for sure, possibly other animals) but at this point we have a vaccine so a lockdown until it can be widely deployed isn't a bad idea.
