Isn't that what is going on already?

"The combination of vaccination and natural immunity will protect many of us. The coronavirus, like most viruses, will live on—but not as a planetary plague."

any proof "herd immunity" exists with this virus? And any proof a vaccine will be effective and safe long term? Oh a guy that specializes in computers says it will. LOL Guess it will

What are you going to do when eventually the restrictions have to lift?

Any proof that herd immunity does not exist with this virus?

If it does not exist, it is because individual immunity does not exist. If that is the case - and there is no legitimate scientific basis for thinking that it is - then no vaccine is going to work and there is nothing we can do to help ourselves except lock-down permanently and never come out of our homes again.

theres more proof it doesn't than it does at this point since people are getting reinfected and mutations continue to make it even more contagious

There is no proof at all, either way, except for the work that has been more generally done with regards to human immunity to viruses, broadly speaking, going back over the last hundred years or so.

And there is no scientific proof that anyone has actually been reinfected. An article in the New York Times by some blowhard claiming otherwise, is not proof.

You people.

If you can get reinfected and the virus continues to mutate to become more contagious as there is already evidence of, then there is no herd immunity. science won't keep up with mutations that happen this fast
