re: #129 Dr Lizardo

Meanwhile, here in Czech Republic, the government’s chief epidemiologist has rather abruptly shifted tack and decided we should go for the “herd immunity” approach, while taking care to protect the elderly, immune-compromised, etc.

And I mean abruptly. Day before yesterday, he was saying the complete opposite.

I presume he didn’t see how that worked out for the United Kingdom.

Herd immunity is a term conservatives hijacked from vaccination programmes to obfuscate what they’re actually doing: Genocide.

The problem with using a disease for that is reflected in things like Boris Johnson being in the hospital now: You can’t control where a virus strikes.
