Episode notes
In a rational society that cares about its citizens, the 9%, 10% that don't get immunized is because they can't be immunized. You want the herd immunity to protect the weak. The people who are immune compromised, the people who have some genetic disorder, where they rely on you to be vaccinated. So I don't catch so they don't catch the disease. That's how we should be using herd immunity in a rational society. But it depends on the lethality of the drug and how quickly it spreads that will determine the exact herd immunity.
