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">https://twitter.com/stefsiman...
I& #39;ve also been asked more questions:

"But why would they knowingly do it?"

"What& #39;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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten"> https://twitter.com/Under_Covid/status/1275717432380964865">https://twitter.com/Under_Cov...
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">https://twitter.com/StefSiman...
