It look`s like the definition of herd immunity has seen some changes , at least in WHO . It is strange as the definition has been about the same for many decades i think. If i remember right, they also changed the definition of pandemic at WHO not long ago, so this seem look`s like modus operandi for them ? Change the definitions , which suit their agenda & business models.
The left version is about the same as in Wikipedia, and the right versions from WHO website .
Herd immunity Wikipedia
Herd immunity World Health Organization
Only vaccination can give herd immunity according to WHO, and not previous infection ...quite strange view to me.
Maybe you have some sense that something fishy is going on? Same. If itâs not one thing, itâs another.
Coronavirus lived on surfaces until it didnât. Masks didnât work until they did, then they did not. There is asymptomatic transmission, except there isnât. Lockdowns work to control the virus except they do not. All these people are sick without symptoms until, whoops, PCR tests are wildly inaccurate because they were never intended to be diagnostic tools. Everyone is in danger of the virus except they arenât. It spreads in schools except it doesnât.
On it goes. Daily. Itâs no wonder that so many people have stopped believing anything that âpublic health authoritiesâ say. In combination with governors and other autocrats doing their bidding, they set out to take away freedom and human rights and expected us to thank them for saving our lives. At some point this year (for me it was March 12) life began feeling like a dystopian novel of your choice.
Well, now I have another piece of evidence to add to the mile-high pile of fishy mess. The World Health Organization, for reasons unknown, has suddenly changed its definition of a core conception of immunology: herd immunity. Its discovery was one of the major achievements of 20th century science, gradually emerging in the 1920s and then becoming ever more refined throughout the 20th century.

When BawJaws started talking about herd immunity earlier this year I looked into it and as far as I could see herd Immunity only really works alongside a working vaccination program. This is not a new definition.
