A Modest Proposal
Whether we believe in the effectiveness of vaccines and masks or not, we all agree there’s one way out of this mess, right? Two words: “herd immunity.” Whether by natural or artificial means, we need to reach a critical level of immunity among the population. Those who believe the vaccine is the means to reach herd immunity would prefer we all line up to get the shot. Those who prefer natural herd immunity would prefer we go on with our usual lives and let the virus run its course.
