Herd immunity is a hypothesis plucked out of an old college text book. It states that large groups of immune people can protect those who are immune compromised or unvaccinated.
In other words, herd immunity serves as a human shield—a type of immunity—for “at-risk” individuals.
Without question, vaccines are said to induce it. But that’s ridiculous because vaccine-induced immunity is not herd immunity…in fact, herd immunity doesn’t exist.
...you can still get sick is the herd is "immune."
To test herd immunity, you simply have to monitor a highly vaccinated (or even naturally-immune) group for an outbreak. If even one person among the herd is infected and there’s a spread—then obviously, herd immunity doesn’t work.
This is exactly what has been observed.
In Corpus Christi, where the vaccine rate was 99%, measles was undeterred. Scientists writing for The New England Journal of Medicine documented the spread of an outbreak among adolescents who had received their shots. The scientists concluded that, “outbreaks of measles can occur in secondary schools, even when more than 99 percent of the students have been vaccinated and more than 95 percent are immune.”
Echoing these findings, The American Journal of Public Health showed a 98% vaccine rate at a Massachusetts high school. This high rate didn’t stop a measles outbreak from erupting among the heavily vaccinated “herd.”
Proponents of herd immunity usually insist that outbreaks should be met with yet more vaccines, reaching as high as 100% . . . but that’s no longer herd immunity, that would be vaccine-induced protection, by definition.
Even then, it fails too because shots don’t spur immunity like germ exposure does in nature - which is how natural immunity is supposed to work!
In Illinois the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) documented an outbreak despite a 100% vaccine rate in a high school in Sangamon County.
In Emerging Infectious Diseases, scientists discovered whooping cough outbreaks among fully “immunized” populations of children as well. Their research—published by the CDC—found that, “Vaccinated adolescents and adults may serve as reservoirs for silent infection and become potential transmitters to unprotected infants.”
You can go as far back as the first test tube and find these same results, repeated numerous times among different “herds.” That’s because herd immunity (as well as vaccine-induced immunity) does not fully exist outside of textbooks and pharmaceutical propaganda.
In other words, you could vaccinate EVERYONE and there could still be an outbreak! That's what science has proven for decades!
Ignoring or refusing to learn the facts when outbreaks arise, health officials are quick to state that this vaccine failure is due to a breakdown in “herd immunity.”
Doctors parrot it, too, without even looking at the research. They say it’s happening more often nation- wide as states make it easier for parents to opt out of vaccinations.
Like argumentative apes, pro-vaccine parents and their physicians start pounding their chests in favor of such statements. More incredulously, they attack anti-vaccine parents, accusing them of “putting vaccinated kids at risk due to a breakdown in herd immunity.”
This is fuzzy logic. And it’s borderline stupid.
After all, if vaccines truly worked, why would vaccinated kids be at risk? Isn’t the vaccine supposed to protect them?
Ultimately, the facts are clear. Senselessly jabbing tribes of kids with dozens of new-fangled shots isn’t going to help anyone.
Herd immunity is nothing more than a silly catch-phrase—spawned by those who profit from vaccines—used to scare and bully parents into vaccinating their children.
If pro-vaccine advocates, the media, and doctors truly cared about protecting kids, they’d stop using an unproven hypothesis like herd immunity to question parents who opt out. Instead, a more level-headed approach would be to question the obvious factors that are detracting from our children’s health:
• A lack of herd immunity
• Waning vaccine efficacy
• Vaccine failure
• The spread of disease by the vaccinated
Healthy skepticism can go a long way in asking the obvious question: Are vaccines safe and effective for my kids?
