Ignorant fuckstick has a question! > [@Vaccines, transmissibility and herd immunity](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vaccines-transmissibility-and-herd-immunity/932273/7): > > Could you please expand on what you mean here? When you say ‘given the infectiousness of this virus’, do you mean it’s a little infectious or a lot infectious? You seem to imply that ‘herd immunity’ won’t or can’t be reached without vaccination, so I want to read the first part of your sentence as claiming that the virus has characteristics that won’t allow it to reach enough hosts on its own. But high infectiousness – which I kinda thought the virus was deemed to have – and asymptomatic spread… How would we every get at the truth of these oh-so-hard-to-parse sentences, if it were not for his heroic efforts to politely Just Ask Questions, without any agenda whatsoever oh no sir. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-saytwo/924070)._
