"Herd immunity is the indirection protection from an infectious disease that happens when the population is immune either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection."
"Herd immunity, also known as population immunity is a concept used for vaccination in which population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold vaccination is reached. Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it."
"Herd immunity is a concept used for vaccination in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached. Never in the history of public health has herd immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak."
"No, no, no. Herd immunity is radical. It's dangerous. It's unethical. So these people who are putting forward this declaration are dangerous radicals. These people should be shunned. This is insane. We NEED to lock everyone up. We NEED to stop you from going to work, from going to school, from going outside."
"As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all, including the vulnerable, falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity, i.e., the point at which the rate of new infections is stable and that this can be assisted, but IS NOT DEPENDENT upon a vaccine. A goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity."
