If anyone I follow still considers COVID-19 "herd immunity" viable without a well-distributed vaccine, consider the diseases we did not eliminate without them:

Mumps. Measles. Rubella. Typhoid. Scarlet fever. Smallpox. Diphtheria. More.

Not even diseases as relatively benign as chicken pox or as vicious and feared as polio got eliminated without vaccines.

"Herd immunity" without vaccines is nothing but "eh, let 'em die."

What is herd immunity and why are Trump officials pursuing an idea WHO calls ‘dangerous’?
