first, hi! second, there is no such thing as natural herd immunity without millions of deaths.

1/3 of Europe died from the plague. We have no herd immunity to the plague.

Responses:

yep. mass vaccination is the only way it's ever happened. and even then it's hard without a vaccine that prevents transmission. -- nm - mafic Dec 15, 20:50 3
- we have to hit 90% vaccination. Meanwhile, the Fox cult says "it isn't working!" while they refuse to do the thing that works. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 20:51 2
  - 90% worldwide, I assume. With other countries lagging, and our own ignorance stateside, I’m not overly confident we can ever achieve that. -- nm - samara Dec 15, 21:00 1
    - I don't think it's impossible, but you don't necessarily need everywhere to be at 90%. if your particular region is at 90% - mafic Dec 15, 22:02
