- thu2111 6y agoNo, herd immunity is already happening anyway via natural vaccination, i.e. people getting it. There's no actual need for a vaccine. Case numbers are falling in many areas again, even after a round of opening ups. By now the vaccine has clearly shifted in purpose from a medical one to a primarily psychological one. For people who are wedded to lockdowns and can't admit how disastrous they are, a vaccine is a face-saving exit criteria. It comes with the bonus of more top-down control of the population too!
