RE: Flat Earthers - Failed.

in #flatearth • 7 years ago

You've just destroyed your own argument for herd immunity. Huge numbers of adults who have been vaccinated are no longer immune because vaccines don't work for very long. If herd immunity could be achieved...that would be by the population developing true, natural immunity, thereby limiting the potential for contagion and offering some protection to those potentially more vulnerable.

    According to an internet rando with no medical qualifications. What shape do you suppose the Earth is, Cletus?

    Because viruses mutate. Do you acknowledge that viruses mutate?

    Viruses, bacteria and other pathogens mutate too quickly for this to occur. The rate of human evolution is drastically slower because a human takes over a decade to mature before they can reproduce. Microorganisms reproduce much, much, much faster.

      Again, you are destroying your own argument.

      1. Lifelong immunity to pathogens is possible with naturally acquired immunity.
      2. If the pathogens are mutating so fast the immune system cannot keep up, why isn't everyone sick?
      3. How can herd immunity work as you suggest if the pathogens are mutating so fast. Surely the vaccines would be rendered ineffective by the same process. (There are many reasons that vaccines do not have the efficacy they are claimed to.)

      If not going to insult you as you have tried to insult me, I'll let logic speak for itself.
