HERD IMMUNITY

I tried to find a scientific explanation of this term, but all that was published is that after enough people are immune to the disease, vulnerable immune systems are able to “hide themselves” from infection amid the great numbers of “survivors”. Ludicrous. If there is such a thing as “herd immunity” it is most likely a “transference” of information from immune systems that were forced to develop antibodies or T cells (through direct infection or being tricked by vaccines) to novice immune systems directly, so that the spread of the virus is stopped cold. It seems reasonable to me that “herd immunity” requires a “herd” to develop!

I realize that our modern scientists would scoff at this possibility, yet the details of how these individual, invisible, biological computers work (immune systems) fits neatly into the vast expanse of WE DON’T HAVE A CLUE. We know they exist. We know they somehow recognize a danger and somehow get the organs in the body to create and distribute the appropriate remedy and then somehow store that ability for later use if and when it is needed. I think most scientists would agree that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”- but they credit billions of years of random genetic accidents with producing the bodies we mostly take for granted. As yet I haven’t heard their theories on why music can affect us so deeply, why a smile and word of encouragement has far more power than the most virulent psychotropic drugs when it comes to improving our social functioning, or how important physical touch and attention are to a child’s development. Scientists want PROOF. And yet, there is ZERO PROOF that all the lock downs, social distancing, masks, gloves, sanitizers, etc. were able to prevent a single death from the Covid virus. They BELIEVE that they have saved countless thousands of lives, but there is no proof. Just their belief.

If, in fact, “herd immunity” is developed by coming together so that this living knowledge that resides within the “survivors” can be passed around (as if the inner computers can connect like we do with WiFi), then our governments should be doing exactly the opposite of locking us down. Anyone who has had the virus should be encouraged to get out in the public wherever and whenever they can. Sports stadiums! Rock concerts! Huge worship services! I believe that is the path to “herd immunity”.
