It's hardly “herd immunity” when everyone is vaccinated! Herd immunity is achieved when a population or group becomes immune through natural growth. And being “immune” does not mean that a population will not contract C-19 either. All that happens is that the body is better able to fight the virus. I have known a lot of people who, since being vaccinated, have contracted C-19 but have not needed hospitalization.

Given that you can still catch the virus after being double jabbed (with an effective vaccine), you are just much less likely to end up in hospital, ‘herd immunity’ protecting the antivaxs, is clearly a myth.

A Darwinian situation methinks.
