I think I'm going to be totally flamed for this, but from what I knew about herd immunity before Covid-19, it was a good thing, used as part of a sensible vaccination policy, to protect those people who couldn't get a vaccine from diseases that would otherwise kill them.
It seems to me that the meaning of herd immunity is changing (partly because of government policy) to something bad, that involves a lot of people getting a dangerous disease that they have no protection from, to reduce the risk for the people who are left.
But I'm sure that wasn't what it was supposed to be originally. AIBU?
