Why Not Herd Immunity
Was reading the Herd Immunity section of the Great Barrington Declaration this morning and was struck by how we have short-circuited the normal way that infections pass through the population. All restrictions and lockdowns have done is prolonged the time it will take for the virus to move through the population.
Covid, contrary to what the media and politicians want us to believe is not particularly deadly. The total survival rate is easily calculated to be somewhere around 99.8% with a somewhat higher rate in the elderly and a lower (almost zero) rate in the young. All that being said, some people are dying from Covid and I certainly don’t want it.
The normal way that herd immunity is achieved is by allowing natural transmission of a virus through a healthy population to the point where enough people have built up anti-bodies that the virus cannot find hosts to infect. At this point the virus is suppressed and naturally dies down. This process is severely hampered by lockdowns and reduced contact … we have effectively prolonged this infestation. If virologists and the medical community knows this is how viral infections work, (see the Great Barrington Declaration linked above,) why have we done this to ourselves?
Politicians and their propaganda departments (media.)
The politicization of health care has been an absolute disaster in the western world. Why anybody would trust a slimy politician over a primary healthcare practitioner is beyond me. But this is what we’ve done. We’ve outsourced our health, indeed the health of whole nations to idiots. And now we pay the price. We need a new system, one that does not rely on propaganda-for-profit hucksters being the sole conveyers of information to the general public. Do I think this will happen? Nope. Not until ‘every eye shall behold Him’ anyway. It will literally take something supernatural to overcome the 1984 system that we’ve allowed to take root in the western world. And don’t get me going on how ((they)) have infiltrated every part of our lives (a subject for another post.)
So with:
- lockdowns
- business closures
- public places closures
- keeping large parts of the population indoors (unhealthy)
- social distancing
- the not-a-vax (this one might actually help achieve herd immunity, but at what cost?)
- cancelling or closure of sporting and health centers
- 24/7 fear porn from the media and politicians
… we have created an overweight, fearful, unhealthy, immune suppressed population and have done nothing to promote herd immunity which is how this plandemic will eventually end. Everything we are currently doing will prolong this thing.
The best course of action is to do everything you can to lead a ‘normal’ life. Visit with friends. Get outdoors. Be healthy. Eat real food. Sleep well … all the things that humans have known for a millennia that will promote healthy people with healthy immune systems.
