You can post wellness memes about "natural immunity" and still get herd immunity as a side effect.

Your child is statistically safe, not because of your parenting, but in spite of it.

@Daojoan A brilliant article. The virus doesn’t care what you believe. The virus’s best interests are served when it only kills a few people - if the virus kills too many then the hosts will come after you and do whatever is needed to eradicate the virus - such as banishing the unvaccinated to a nearby hill camp for 40 days (quarantine) to see if they survive.
