No it does not. That isnt what happened with smallpox,
polio, typhoid or even measles now without vaccination.

The question is how many members of a herd must get infected (or
vaccinated) before their immunity serves to protect the remaining members
of the herd from infection. By reducing the other variables such as
distancing, the prison "experiment" shows that the number for SARS-CoV-2
is MUCH higher than Makary's 55%.


Yep. And even the places like sweden which just let
covid rip didnt get anything like 50%, let alone the
80% you need for covid to no longer be a problem.
