The only way to get good immunity in the population in every country in the world is through exposure to the virus. The sooner this is understood the better it would be and the long term consequences far less in comparison to non exposure, lockdowns, restrictions, crippled vaccinations and the rest.
That's the case since the beginning of the pandemic.

And thank god Putin has decided pull out of Ukraine and donate his offshore trillions to rebuilding it.
Thank god Biden has had his name and address tattooed on his butt in case he gets lost on the way from the door to the desk.
Thank god Gates has given all the farms he bought back to the farmers free of charge.
And thank god the U.K. finally has a PM who isn’t a greedy, ambitious, out of touch bampot. Thank god!

The problem comes when you get to the people for whom exposure is dangerous. Such as the elderly or the obese. This is where vaxxing is essential. The risk of harm form the vax for someone with diabetes, for example, is a fraction of the risk for covid.
You also need to bear in mind that in order to get herd immunity through natural exposure you'd need to infect at least 80 percent of the population. This could take the best part of a decade.
Conclusions: All systematic evaluations of seroprevalence data converge that SARS-CoV-2 infection is widely spread globally. Acknowledging residual uncertainties, the available evidence suggests average global IFR of ~0.15% and ~1.5-2.0 billion infections by February 2021 with substantial differences in IFR and in infection spread across continents, countries and locations.

COVID-19 mutations are evading our immunity and at the same time our immunity is waning. Herd immunity to disease and the eradication of SARS-CoV-2 is no longer possible.
The developer of the AstraZeneca shot says the Delta variant has made herd immunity impossible because vaccinated people can still transmit the virus
Herd immunity now seems impossible. Welcome to the age of Covid reinfection

Which makes it even more ridiculous to suggest that big pharma and the government were in this together.

I clicked on the link at the Eurekalert page to view the paper… I got a 404.

age isn't a factor but it isn't the only one and it isn't likely to be the most important one either, At least statistically it doesn't seem to be.
In the US, the biggest risk factors other than age are obesity, hyper tension, diabetes, and heart disease.
This isn't really my field, but I do know that Japan has significant problems with hypertension, as well as notable issues with heart disease. There are complex reasons why, but the TLDR version is high stress levels, smoking, and high sodium intake through high sodium soy sauce being in almost everything.

We have already discussed that there is no herd immunity when you dealing with rapidly evolving viruses and vaccines that cannot prevent transmission or infection.
Did you forget the numerous sources that I have provided? And if you don't want to refer to the sources don't you use common sense?
Also are you from the UK?

And I've already debunked that because herd immunity doesn't mean 100 percent resistance, it means that individuals have sufficient immunity to render covid to the level of a nuisance.

Which were either wrong, or which you misrepresented. As demonstrated by your repeated assertion that the vax doesn't "prevent" transmission", when it was never designed to do that in the first place. The vax is designed to reduce the length and severity of infection. Covid is a respiratory virus, you're not going to prevent transmission with a vaccination because you can infect people if you're merely contaminated with the virus.
Also are you from the UK?
Because my constant references to having spent my youth living under communism scream that I was born in a capitalist western democracy?

Well, would you looky here! The heart problems many vaccinated people have experienced aren't caused by the shot after all, but 'artificial sweeteners'!! So, get your booster! And stop using artificial sweeteners; trust the science!!

Maybe they should look at what changes they have made in the formula for artificial sweeteners.
If no changes have been made, then they need to explain why these side effects have not been identified before.
