    If you can't tell us the answer to this, then this question is just a smear.

    Here is one study that actually has been done, estimating that the vaccines saved 20,000,0000 lives world wide in just one year. This, by the way, was a major part of "Fauci and company's" recommendations to America. The study, let it be noted, rues the fact that more people did not get vaccinated. The lower vaccination rate meant that more people died.

    Besides, "herd immunity" cannot be guaranteed, especially with a new virus. There are all variety of outcomes possible, including no broad immunity ever.

    Evangelicals are famous for hosting Chicken Pox Parties as a "herd immunity" tactic. Some doctorial student should do their thesis on how these groups became anti-science. Interestingly, Kenneth Copeland's groups caused measles outbreaks in 2013. It has been quite since. Maybe somebody thought a different tactic was better...LOL!!

    By the way, the GBD doesn't include any scientific analyses or studies. It's a proposed less-limiting approach to running society during the epidemic. There's no numerical analysis showing its impact on R. So, it's just an alternative bureaucratic approach.

    It's worse than that. It aims at supporting corporate profits at the cost of human lives. The sponsoring group, the America Intitute for Economic Research is a far-right libertarian front that owns a private investment firm. Having been the target of similar libertarian recruitment campaigns, aimed at writers, I'd guess that they paid for a posh resort weekend and gave more-than-generous honoraria to the signers. In other words, it's more elite disinformation, practiced for personal gain.

    "AIER statements and publications portray the risks of climate change as minor and manageable,[8] with titles such as "What Greta Thunberg Forgets About Climate Change", "The Real Reason Nobody Takes Environmental Activists Seriously" and "Brazilians Should Keep Slashing Their Rainforest".[9][10][11]

    The institution has also funded research on the comparative benefits that sweatshops supplying multinationals bring to the people working in them.[12][13]

    AIER issued a statement in October 2020 called the Great Barrington Declaration that argued for a herd immunity strategy of "focused protection" to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] It was roundly condemned by many public health experts.[14][15] Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert appointed by the White House, called the declaration "total nonsense" and unscientific.[14]

    You have your metaphor backwards. You’re trying to prove something, but I’m the agnostic.

    While the Republicans are running around supporting Trump and repeating conspiracy theories, cybersecurity is being ignored.

    Reality check: If a black man assaults police, he either gets murdered on the spot or put away for a tenner at least.

    But these white fascist punks get off with a couple years and a kiss from Trump.
