The protective effect of herd immunity is an irrefutable scientific fact (as well as being an undeniable logical/mathematical truth).

Interesting article from Wall Street Journal.
Very interesting. And Yes, the masking and social distancing of our healthy population is the direct cause of the perpetuation (continued mutations) of this virus (and the resulting massive destruction of lives). Logic tells us this. Following Bad Science (science that disregards logic) is our downfall.
If we want to stop this virus, then healthy people need to unmask and fully socialize asap.
I am hoping that the swift spread of Omicron is a "gift from the heavens" to save us all from our stupidity of following the very Bad Science.
I am hoping people, especially healthy people, don't foolishly mask up and social distance during this Omicron wave. If they do, or the government mandates we do, then things will only get much worse.
Follow the Logic!

The Summit was organized by the World Health Organization’s Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet), a global leader in empowering countries to put actionable evidence in the hands of users. With over a decade of successful knowledge translation initiatives in more than 50 countries, EVIPNet supports member countries in working towards safe and cost-effective health interventions through systematic use of the best-available evidence and participatory decision-making processes.More than 3200 people from 138 countries registered to participate in the Summit, and some 2’500 participants joined one or several sessions of the three-day virtual event. Amongst the keynote speakers were Dr Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Ban Ki-moon, former UN Secretary General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, Dr Soumya Swaminathan, lead of WHO’s Science Division, Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Health Ministers from the WHO regions, as well as representatives of a wide circle of renowned national and international academic institutions, among them McMaster University, Canada, Agha Khan University, Pakistan, London School of Hygiene Tropical Medicine, United Kingdom, University Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, University of Hong Kong, Harvard Law School, United States of America, and London School of Economics, United Kingdom.

Now if only we Americans could also come to our senses, and realize the self-destruction we have and are causing with the bad science (science that disregards logic) of Dr. Fauci.
**********
One of the great tradgedies of this covid era is the inability by many to recognize the tremendous life saving benefits of unmasked socialization.
We have been so brainwashed into separating and masking people, that we are blinded to the massive damage it causes.

Re: Covid-19 highlights the pros and cons of mathematical models
1. What is the ONLY thing that all legitimate scientists and medical experts agree on that stops the continuous perpetuation (mutations) of this virus?
Answer: herd immunity.
2. What is herd immunity?
Answer: Herd immunity is when immune people surround vulnerable people to prevent the transmission of the virus from infecting the vulnerable population. If enough immune people "participate" in achieving herd immunity, this will effectively eradicate the virus (and its future mutations).
3. How does one "participate" in herd immunity?
Answer: firstly one must be immune (healthy and preferably vaccinated). Secondly, they must socialize unmasked around vulnerable people. Refer to the Mosquito Analogy (in the General Philosophy section) to understand the mechanics of the tremendous life saving benefits of unmasked socialization.
4. What is the role of 'vaccination' in achieving herd immunity protection?
Answer: vaccination gives us immune people. Immune people that "participate" in achieving herd immunity give us herd immunity protection.
So now Roobaba, Sound Science tells us that masking and social distancing of our healthy vaccinated people prevent us from achieving herd immunity protection.
If herd immunity is the ONLY way to stop this virus, then why are we listening to the Bad Science that advises immune people to continue to mask up and social distance?
Science that advises against herd immunity is Bad Science, as it is encouraging more deaths and more mutations (which potentially could be more contagious/deadly).
Science that tells us that massive people will die or get sick if we implement herd immunity, is Bad Science. Herd immunity provides 'protection' (not 'death') to vulnerable people!
If herd immunity is the ONLY way to stop this virus, then what are we waiting for? ...more deaths and mutations???
