#TakeItOnTheChin #Another563

Here& #39;s Sir Patrick Vallance, gov CSA, explaining that the UK& #39;s #coronavirus strategy is to build up a "degree of #HerdImmunity so that more people are immune to the disease".
#TakeItOnTheChin #Another563
In order for #HerdImmunity to work, 60% of the population would need to be vaccinated.
Currently, there isn& #39;t a vaccine.
Attempting #HerdImmunity without a vaccination is essentially genocide.

Even Trump gets it.

Here& #39;s @Jeremy_Hunt, Chair of the Health Select Committee and ex-Health Secretary confirming the gov& #39;s change of strategy from #HerdImmunity to Suppression, which “requires a lot of testing”.

Meanwhile, a visibly shocked Jane Hill confirms that the government has announced that the first batch of 30 (that& #39;s right..30) ventilators will be sent out this weekend.
30,000 are required.

Here& #39;s a superb compilation by @UKDemockery detailing the British Government& #39;s timeline on #HerdImmunity

"We never, EVER considered that as a possibility, EVER!
#HerdImmunity would have meant tens of thousands of New Zealanders dying, and I simply would not tolerate that and I don& #39;t think any New Zealander would." #NZPM @jacindaardern

Boris Johnson 3rd February, Greenwich.
This explains why our airports are still open, why we don& #39;t have enough PPE or are doing enough testing.
#HerdImmunity is still the UK& #39;s #Coronavirus strategy.

I wonder how America, Britain& #39;s "deep and special allie" and proposed top trading partner, post-Brexit, are reporting the British government& #39;s #coronavirus strategy...
