"Herd immunity" no big deal after all - experts

Remember back in the early months of the Covid Fever, the pursuit of herd immunity was the over-arching goal of our war with the virus? Well, fuggedaboutit! Whatever science the experts promoting that hoax were following has apparently been eclipsed by new science. 

Check out this headline at CBC News: We probably won't achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 anytime soon, but it's OK, experts say.

Yup, forget about what the CBC's experts told you last week - that is so last week, and this is a fast-moving pandemic, in case you hadn't noticed. This week's experts have done some mathematical modelling, you know, like Neil Ferguson, and whadya know, herd immunity isn't the be-all and end-all that those other experts made it out to be.

What a relief!

Not only are Canadians suffering Covid Fatigue, many of us are also coming down with a new Variant Of Concern; Expert Bullshit Fatigue. By now the average news consumer must have figured out that for every expert chosen to put in front of the TV cameras, there are other experts, just as qualified, who would happily contradict them. Deciding which experts are allowed a platform is a matter politics, not science.
