Herd immunity works, just not as perfectly as you would like.
As ever Old Boy you are entirely incorrect. As I say read the basis upon which the vaccines were approved in the United States, European Union or the United Kingdom. Every one referenced - sometimes dubious but now outdated - efficacy against infection. Therefore it's impossible for me to be "unfair" to say they missed stated objectives nor that "herd immunity" has not - indeed will not - be achieved through mass infection nor the present generation of vaccines.

Herd immunity palpably doesn't work hence "waves" of infection.
