    What these antivax ignoramuses always forget to mention is that the price of achieving "natural herd immunity" if #COVID19 is left unchecked will be millions of dead and many more millions with permanent lung damage, plus no guarantee that the herd immunity will last.🙄https://twitter.com/jeremyrhammond/status/1243031025892155393 …

    On the contrary, it's a good time for you to recognize the value of developing natural herd immunity.

        Basically, the price of achieving any level of "natural herd immunity" to a disease is suffering and death, often on a massive scale, with the disease still there afterwards, to flare up again if the "natural immunity" isn't lifelong and to target new members of the population.

        @gorskon Is there even any guarantee that we will develop enough herd immunity to ward off future outbreaks, absent an actual vaccine?

        No, there’s not, although transmission will definitely slow down when a large enough percentage of the population is immune.

        And possibly bankruptcy for those uninsured who suffer permanent lung issues.

        I'm no anti vaxer (nor ignoramus) but just throwing around buzzwords w no detail is disingenuous to me. When I hear natural #HerdImmunity for fit school kids in #Covid19au I hear a strategy implying an eventual well-timed school lockdown; coinciding w isolation. What do u hear?
