you probably know I'm ideologically against forced vaccinations, although I believe some vaccines can be worthwhile. but until the past week or so I was clueless on how "herd immunity" was supposed to work, and ridiculed the idea until someone gave me a link to this simulation, and now it makes sense to me.
I still have reservations about the sheer numbers of vaccines given to today's youth, the purity and efficacy of them, and the toxicity of some of the components, not to mention the overriding illegitimacy of using force rather than education to encourage compliance. but I'm no longer against the concept of herd immunity.
