There is so
much cross information, misinformation and bad information floating around on
the internet and the news networks, that I wonder why people just can’t slow
down and think – logically.
The newest insanity
is ‘herd immunity.’
Let’s back
up a bit. A pandemic use to be called
a plague; but plagues sounds scary, so the people that manipulate us prefer to
call them ‘pandemics.’
Over the
centuries the human population has been hit by numerous plagues; so, how did
herd immunity work out in the past?
The Black
Death killed and estimated 2/3rd. the population of Europe; Small Pox,
Yellow Fever, Spanish Flue, Polio and Aids all all been responsible for
millions of deaths in world-wide populations.
These would still be decimating our populations today except of
vaccines.
Remember;
pandemics are natures way of culling the herd: over population in animal
species. And, herd immunity means you let the
pestilence run rampant, killing off the old, the weak, the infirm and the
stupid; resulting in huge percentages of populations dying off.
Responsible pandemic
control, in the time of science and medicine, means you isolate the sick so
they do not contaminate the healthy, and you seek a vaccine to produce a manufactured
immunity.
Only an
idiot would tout ‘Herd Immunity’ as a response to a new pandemic.

Never heard of it. ahahahahaahahahahaa!
ReplyDeleteLeanna, you're so bad.
ReplyDeleteOl'Buzzard, I think your auto-correct changed all instances of "herd immunity" to "heard immunity."
No that was me. Thanks for pointing that out. Usually my wife has to check any letters and other correspondence I write - but I kind of hang it out on the blog.
Deletethanks again
