> But everyone forgot about herd immunity. You may be beyond herd immunity, but most pro authoritarian/pro vaxxers I've spoken with on HN and elsewhere still firmly believe that the vaccine provides immunity, and to question it is to question The Science. You are working from alternative facts and therefore by definition a wacko. Sorry, this turned into a completely flippant comment, but I don't know where to go from here. You only have to scroll down a few comments from here to discover someone who is still insisting that herd immunity is reachable via vaccination. What is there to say when people believe the sort of thing completely contrary to all of the science, and they're backed up by plenty of people who know better but find it convenient for them to believe it?
