Herd Immunity Irrelevant for Vaccines
The recently proposed vaccine mandate is not justified by any convincing data. The herd immunity argument is being presented as more of a mathematical concept than a biological one. Herd immunity applies to naturally acquired immunity and has never been proven to have any relevance to vaccines. Epidemics that vaccines were said to have resolved were already in decline from natural herd immunity before the vaccines came out. Generally, it’s not exposure to disease that matters as much as how your body handles disease, and there are definitely natural ways to build a strong immune system.
Big pharma is just another crony capitalist-rigged system that is all about profit before people. It doesn’t promote natural prevention and cures because you’re worth more to big pharma sick than healthy. Look at how many other pharmaceutical products treat one disease, while at the same time causing other problems. So it shouldn’t be a surprise if the same is true for vaccines. Even if herd immunity did validly apply to vaccines, the 95 percent threshold would be impossible to achieve, since classmates are not the only people kids come in contact with. All in all, vaccines should only be voluntary, and those choosing vaccination should be given an informed consent form to sign that is honest and upfront about the risks versus benefits and the ingredients in the vaccine.
