While technically correct, I don't get what you are implying here. Just let nature run its course? Cull the weak?

- db48x 6y agoI'm not implying anything. I'm saying that we'll end up with herd immunity whether we successfully make and distribute a vaccine or not. There are two ways to get that outcome: the easy way and the hard way. The linked article is wrong because it suggests that the easy way is the only way.
- PeterStuer 6y agoYou could argue immunity can always be obtained the 'hard' way, even for a virus that seems not to induce it, as when the last human succumbs the infection rate has effectively gone to 0. We refer to those points as 'technicalities'.
