The CDC has long said we need from 70% to 90% of us vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, which then stops the COVID-19 virus from jumping person-to-person.
Republicans mainly, but anti-vaxxers specifically, have taken the selfish route of not doing their humanitarian fair share to reduce the ability of COVID-19 to jump across legions of nonimmune people in our communities.
Since the anti-vaxxers are clearly not helping us to achieve herd immunity, they are now unwittingly culling themselves right out of the herd — as tragic and “told ya so” as that sounds. And we medical experts have, many times now, told you so.
