The Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT)


LOCKDOWN LUNACY 2.0: Second wave? Not even close.

Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) appears to be not 60-70% but 10% or less. The charts in this article tell the story of

  • crashing death rates
  • extinguishing virus severity

A strong argument for:
The non reckless policy of protecting our elderly
and medically at risk and
🌟reopening the economy.

Excerpt

One of the most vocal members of the scientific community discussing COVID-19’s HIT is Stanford’s Nobel-laureate Dr. Michael Levitt
Back on May 4, he gave this great interview to the The Stanford Daily where he advocated for Sweden’s approach of letting COVID-19 spread naturally through the community until you arrive at HIT. He stated:

If Sweden stops at about 5,000 or 6,000 deaths, we will know that they’ve reached herd immunity, and we didn’t need to do any kind of lockdown. My own feeling is that it will probably stop because of herd immunity. COVID is serious, it’s at least a serious flu. But it’s not going to destroy humanity as people thought.

Guess what? That’s exactly what happened. As of today, 7 weeks after his prediction, Sweden has 5,280 deaths. In this graph, you can see that deaths in Sweden PEAKED when the HIT was halfway to its peak (roughly 7.3%) and by the time the virus hit 14% it was nearly extinguished.
