Now, I think natural immunity is better and provides better long-term protection against a virus and its variants, but how many people have to die before the world achieves herd immunity? In the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic killed 50 million people. Today, in a world population much larger and with transportation causing people to move, and spread illness, much faster, how many would have died this time? Would it be 100 million? 500 million? 1 billion? The vaccines, and other measures, did slow the spread. I am not defending the pharmas and their vaxxes, but to say they had no measurable positive effect grates against the facts and common sense.
I am a student of both history and science. Those who ignore history (and real science) are doomed to repeat it, and that is often something unpleasant.
