Herd immunity against covid: what people are misunderstanding

If a certain number of people have been ill with covid or have been vaccinated, then in this crowd the virus will spread very slowly. Those who have not been sick or vaccinated can hide behind the backs of the immunized. This is called herd immunity.

They say that 70-90% of the population must be immunized in order to obtain herd immunity against covid.

Many are trying to cheat on this matter. Someone stays at home and does not get vaccinated to wait herd immunity.

Someone got vaccinated, but stopped wearing a mask.

All this is stupidity. We need to get vaccinated, continue to wear masks, and continue to maintain distance between people.

It is in ideal conditions that 70% of the population may need to be vaccinated. And if the population behaves like freaks and does not wear masks, then you will not get off with such a percentage. We'll have to wait until 90% is vaccinated.

And this, guys, is only on condition that the virus will not be able to escape the vaccine. Then everything will start spinning again in full force.

Solidarity of freaks

In herd immunity, there is also such an interesting trick that not everyone gets. People usually think that if 90% of those around them are vaccinated, then the rest can imperceptibly mingle with the crowd and dissolve there under the protection of herd immunity.

But that usually doesn't happen. Unvaccinated freaks do not dissolve in the crowd. They are a bunch of eccentric families, partnerships, hobby clubs and sects in which the concentration of the virus is off the charts. Even if 99% of the population is vaccinated, then there will certainly be such an enclave where they spit on the vaccine and get sick in full force.

Such an islet of infection supports the epidemic, helps the virus mutate and gain strength. From such an infectious enclave, infectious sputum and snot with saliva splashes in all directions.

The vaccine is not 100% effective. Someone weak and poorly vaccinated will pass by such an island of anti-Axers, and they will cough it to death with a virus.

Do you get the idea? If you don't wear masks and get vaccinated, you will have to wait not for 70% of herd immunity, but for 90%. But while these 90% of those vaccinated or recovered are typed, a whole bunch of neighbors, relatives and simply unlucky people will die.
