going for herd immunity for a virus many times more deadly and debilitating post survival than flu was always going to be a stretch.
when you have a very effective vaccine it borders on psychopathic.
the data from from SA is interesting as they had very low vaccine uptake and so it's likely when omicron hit almost the entire population in some areas likely had already encountered a form of covid. previous infection + vaccination had the best outcomes of all, and was much better than simply having 'natural' immunity.
let's be clear what natural immunity is.
its catching covid and surviving, hopefully with lung function intact.
when there is a 90 - 95% effective vaccine choosing to encounter covid au natural is a strange choice.
