Today, I have had loads of people getting in touch to say “Oh now I get what you’ve been on about.”
The sight of crowds on the streets of #Soho or cramming into pubs on #SuperSaturday, has made people realise that the govt strategy is STILL #HerdImmunity (also called mitigation) https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1252354324136521736

I've also been asked more questions:
"But why would they knowingly do it?"
"What's their goal?"
"What happens when we follow the money?"
"What can we do to stop this"
@Under_Covid - a new investigative & campaigning platform - has got some answers

What is #HerdImmunity?
It is an outcome NOT a strategy
Virtually every virologist or epidemiologist will tell you this
To slow down the spread = mitigation = going for herd immunity
To stop the spread = suppression = not going for herd immunity

All ways of dealing with #COVID come with a cost
Lockdowns damage the economy & leave people vulnerable to future waves of #COVID19
Whichever strategy chosen is a political decision as much as a scientific one
BUT #HerdImmunity is NOT a viable strategy. https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1275680477077213190

Spain’s study indicates just 5% of its population has developed #coronavirus antibodies.
"In light of these findings, any proposed approach to achieve #HerdImmunity through natural infection is not only highly unethical, but also unachievable” @TheLancet https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/06/health/spain-coronavirus-antibody-study-lancet-intl/index.html
