You're never too old to have a secret lesbian lover.

Herd immunity does **** all for flu vaccines (this is hyperbolic). Youre both derps. Flu shots are not like other immunity shots as it's largely a guessing game, there can be an outbreak of any of the 100+ strains on any given year and the most common shots(trivalent vaccines) target H1N1 and a couple other strains.

So....not exactly a case against herd immunity is it

DwnWthVwls · 02-16-2018, 07:07 PM

How does herd immunity protect against simultaneous outbreaks of different strains none of which were actually vaccinated for? I know youre all gungho about vaccines, but I'd expect you to understand the science behind this. It's pretty widely accepted that flu vaccines are not that effective, and they are constantly working to keep up with the viruses evolution.

The herd immunity thing is good at protecting against 3-4 strains.. out of 100+.

Edit: The CDC even reported that the vaccine this year was not effective against the most prevalent strain.. soo?

Bleh, I cant find the article to support this, so I'll just retract it.

**Frownland** · 02-16-2018, 07:15 PM

I just don't see how that's an argument against herd immunity if it's still effective for some strains.

DwnWthVwls · 02-16-2018, 07:19 PM

So if we all get small pox vaccines that gives us herd immunity vs the flu. Got it.

Pretty sure I already admitted herd immunity is good against the 3 strains the vaccine targeted. Selective reading much?

Doesn't the vaccine have to actually be effective for herd immunity to work?

Flu shots slow the spread of a disease. Sure it doesn't always quite reach herd immunity rates of immunity, but that doesn't mean that flu shots don't serve a similar purpose.
