@CarolineHumer @Reuters when we outstrip herd stupidity imo

@CarolineHumer Current calls to vaccinate &gt;70% of the population are important and right on. Even if we reach herd immunity well before that point, we still want to keep going to allow a safe buffer, and to prevent  super spreader events which can happen despite surpassing herd immunity. /2

better to have 1 to catch you when you fail, than to have 1000 who'll only tell the tale.
