Do we need herd immunity? Note, I'm in favor of vaccination, but I don't understand why the press keeps on ignoring other pharmacological interventions that can potentially "downgrade" this disease to something far more manageable. Instead, the press keeps on talking about the "miracle vaccine" which will come eventually. No comment on the section on immunity. Sloppy reporting at best.
