Warning: Herd Immunity is Hogwash.

It’s a risky way to get immunity. My doctor said that to me about herd immunity. It is true that is one way to find immunity from a disease. When almost everyone is infected and gets immunity the few uninfected ones will be protected by those that survive from it. Eventually the disease will not be able to infect as they have less victims to infect anymore. But this method may have more casualties as only those with strong immune system will be able to overcome the disease.

You are right, no one is immune. In Italy many who already had Covid are now re-contaminated... her immunity is a hoax.

Herd immunity is definitely a thing. If enough people are immune to a disease then it will often limited the diseases spread and help protect those who aren’t immune. Though that is risky when we know so little about Covid. We have no idea how long the immunity lasts so thousands may die for nothing.

The problem is people are out of money and that's why they step outside and after that don't follow the guidelines about the mask and hand sanitizer

dont beleve in herd immunity we must all keep safe and take care take pandemic seriously in order to wipe it from our community country n world

yes we all must follow the safety protocols for our own good and take things seriously so this pandemic will end soon

I am not counting on herd immunity since the virus is already developing and changing DNA and former victims get infected again by a new variation of it. Too risky... The best would be to not catch it at all but that depends on common sense in people and I am pretty d*rn sure most have lost it ;-)

Herd immunity wouldn't work because it infects people in many different ways.

I don't think so it will work because it affects so much

Herd immunity is actually a scientific proven fact. As for lockdowns, the WHO has come out and spoke out AGAINST lockdowns. The only way we get through this is by exposing more people TO it. It has been proven by the numbers that it is not a very deadly disease at all. But of course you will disagree. But do the math. It will tell you all you need to know. Or must I define the word "math" for you? lol

Since the beginning of this, my wife and I have been doing what we can to protect ourselves. As people who are in the higher risks group, it is what we must do regardless. What our government is doing, in effect forcing the herd immunity theory upon the population is not just wrong, it is immoral. Even if the larger section of the population does get the virus and survive, there is no science that says the immunity will remain for any length of time and in fact, we are already seeing examples of people who have been infected twice within a six-month period. Granted there is only a handful who are verified (having been reinfected) at this point. Some people like to compare Covid 19 to the flu: with the flu, once someone is infected their immunity will last a finite period, about six months. No one knows for sure what this Covid 19 will be like in the coming years and trying to depend on herd immunity is like saying it's okay for hundreds of thousands to die each year. That is really a shame when simple steps, masks, sanitizing, and distancing will better help protect us all. Thank you for bringing this subject up. It certainly needs to be said. Oh, and to those who think the flu is more deadly, Think again. I've read that this pandemic has already killed more people here in the US than the last five flu seasons combined. check this out:

Yes I believe in herd imunnity

That's scary thanks for giving info.
