Many politicians have staked their reputations on herd immunity. What if it isn’t possible?

Herd Immunity was pushed because it would cause the least economic damage and interruption. But we don’t know enough about the long-term effects of the virus to assume that it would be the most effective approach.

That and the fact that antibody levels fall off in a few months, which doesn’t preclude the innate immunity system of antiviral response to be ineffective as opposed to the acquired immunity response system from antibodies, which is becoming more in doubt as data is collected. My conclusion is we’re fucked till some effective vaccine is created.
