The director of the Oxford Vaccine Group said that because of the Delta COVID-19 variant, herd immunity is “not a possibility.”
“I think we are in a situation here with this current variant where herd immunity is not a possibility because it still infects vaccinated individuals,” professor Andrew Pollard, the director, told the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Tuesday, according to ITV.
Pollard said he believes the virus “will throw up next is a variant which is perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations,” adding that it is “even more of a reason not to be making a vaccine program around herd immunity.”
Claiming that there is nothing the UK can do to “stop the emergence of new variants,” Pollard said “they’re going to happen” sooner or later.
“And if anything we need to focus now not on what might stop new variants because I don’t think we have any facility to control that,” he said. “We need to focus on thinking about how do we prevent people dying or going to hospital.”
In an interview with the BBC, Pollard said COVID-19 likely will become an endemic or a seasonal illness, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is a disease that is ever-present in a population, such as influenza or chickenpox.
“I think it is a pretty distant prospect and we need to get used to the concept that this will become what we call an endemic disease rather than a pandemic disease,” he remarked. “A disease that is with us all the time—probably transmits seasonally a bit like influenza where we see winter outbreaks.”

While he said current vaccines may slow the spread of the Delta variant, which was first reported in India, people should simply expect to live with COVID-19.
Sounds like a pretty good deal if you are in the business of making vaccines and have governments willing to mandate that people take them.
Basically, he said what I’ve been saying all along. COVID is never gonna go away, it will become more transmissible but less deadly like most viruses.
This would be true even if there was a perfect vaccine, as multiple animal reservoirs exist.
Zero covid is impossible for that reason alone.
Two weeks to flatten the curve. F*cking bastards!
Exactly, and nothing besides this.
Bastards indeed. This is about interminable control, not about a virus.
i will seasonally not be taking their death shots
i dont with tge flu either, and never get it
i take so much immune system supplements and vitamins, i do not get sick
plus i do infrared saunas to periodically cook off anything bad
> COVID Herd Immunity ‘Not a Possibility,’ Believes Virus Will Become Seasonal
But gain of function research is worth it. Thanks, Fauci.
Did he take any biology courses in college? That isn't what "herd immunity" means. What he purposely omits is that people who HAD Covid and recovered are not being infected with the "delta" variant, nor being hospitalized. What Sweden did -- no lockdowns or masks, free mingling of people in public, is what creates herd immunity.
Big Pharma has big bills and a big payroll, so vax revenue matters — VRM
Singapore has already stated this as their future way of dealing with covid.
Virus’/illnesses are way of culling the old and weak. You would think governments would be happy to be able to offload future pension/medical costs but no future control is a higher priority for them.
Exactly.
Mandating the mRNA jab is pointless.
The developer of the MRNA says herd immunity can NEVER be a result of the MRNA experimental shot.
If immunity could be reached, it would only be through a traditional type of vaccine or no vaccine at all. (in other words, by letting the population get covid and then get natural immunity)
That’s like a mob boss telling a frightened shopkeeper, “You are going to have to keep paying protection or your kneecaps are going to have to be broken, for starters “
SARS-CoV-2 invented in a lab and patented becomes seasonal? In a sane day, wouldn’t this be considered ADE?
ELECTION SEASONAL is all!
