  That article only says he discussed herd immunity, not set it as a policy goal. Their closing schools for over 16s suggests they were trying to limit infections amongst the young and healthy.

    I disagree. > “One point would be to keep schools open to reach herd immunity faster,” The most reasonable interpretation of "reach herd immunity faster" is that he saw that as a positive outcome. He's tried to avoid the herd immunity label, but then, what is the policy goal? Because what's left is "letting people die unnecessarily is fine".
