Herd or Shared Immunity Explained in A Very Simple Way
The Scenario:
Let A, B,C, D … represent 4 individuals in a population
None of them were initially
infected by Covid-19 virus
Imagine A first gets infected Person A if he survives
then produces an antibody against the virus.
Let us call this antibody or immunoglobulin as Ig. Ig. now gets tagged on to the virus to weaken it.
Let's now imagine the weakened virus carrying the tagged Ig. now escapes into the air
to infect person B Person B recognizes it as a human Ig. tagged along with a
strange virus
Person B then adds on his own Ig. to trim down the virus further
The virus now gets a double dose of Ig.
The virus then escapes again into the air and infects person C.
Person C also recognizes this new virus and downgrades it further with the same or more appropriate antibodies if the virus has mutated
This is a triple dose of the same or different types of antibodies against the
already doubly weakened virus
Person C then infects the 4th person D
Chain
Reaction:
Person D recognizes the same, and shares its immunoglobulin alongside
those already contributed by persons A,B and C, and if necessary, by modifying
its Ig. further if the virus tries to fight back by mutating into multiple
strains.
This chain of natural immunological barricades goes all the way down to
infect persons EFGHIJK… causing multiple infections, each person infecting
several people at the same time.
This causes a multiple chain reactions of to rise exponentially until the entire population of the world may be affected, but it will respond appropriately by matching their continuously changing natural “vaccines” to match up the virus ongoing mutations trying to “survive” (exists).
It becomes a tit-for-tat biological scenario for the survival of the fittest as prescribed by Natural Selection in Evolution
As the virus begins to deteriorate after been challenged by our combined and multiple
immunological defenses, the number of new infections gets less and less and the
rate of recovery from infected people begins to rise very swiftly until all the
current 7.9 billion world’s population recovers completely It will be an
exponential rise in infections, and yet an even faster accelerated rate of
recovery we can expect We call this as herd, shared / cooperative /combined or
communal immunity, or whatever name we wish to give it.
This is the natural law
of survival for the human species which is part of Darwin evolutionary medicine
or Darwinian medicine towards our better understanding of health and disease
Unfortunately, a third of the world’s population need to be sacrificed first for
the remaining to survive.
We may label this as a “bottleneck genetic drift” if
we like for the better survival of the remaining population. This was also
similarly seen in all ancient and past pandemics before any pandemic curve
flattened as decreed in Revelation 9:18.
Ironically, currently one-third of the world's population was told to observe mandatory lockdowns involving 2.6 billion worldwide in 42 countries or territories to contain the coronavirus.
Natural vs. Artificially-induced Vaccination:
Absolutely no artificially-designed vaccine of any kind, not even mixtures of variant types can outperform our body’s natural vaccine that defends itself continuously as a living body that works like a flowing river.
The most beautiful thing about herd immunity versus vaccination contradictory to what politicians and vaccines producers think, or pretend they do not know is, vaccines against Covid-19 or any infection takes many, many years to develop and undergo safety trials, and vaccination has to be done one-by-one, from person-to-person with limited supply of vaccine and personnel across huge populations of hundreds of millions to billions of people, compared to the speed of exponential chain. reactions of herd immunity spread across the same population yet to be exposed.
Herd Immunity via Vaccination:
Of course we can also acquire herd immunity artificially via vaccination but is it safe as
the reliability, efficacy and safety is hotly debated both by the scientific and
medical community as well as by the lay public.
My feeling is, there is nothing like having mass immunity acquired naturally through natural selection although it may be only slightly slower initially till multiple cross infections becomes established
Furthermore, a mono standard vaccine or polyvalent vaccines produced from several mutated strains can never catch up with the speed the living body that responds naturally to meet changes in the mutating scenarios by the virus
In short a vaccine is fixed and 'dead' once out of the factory, but a living
body is not dead or fixed but is constantly adjusting and changing to meet
changing environments and new challenges
That's the beauty how we are fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalm 139:14)
This is natural vaccination or natural medicine.
I personally prefer to coin it. I am optimistic this pandemic would decelerate
very fast as more and more are exposed by sharing our immunological defenses
collectively.
This is how Nature works, ordained by decree and prescribed by
natural selection for our survival on Earth.
I trust this simple, down-to-earth
explanation helps instead of trying to understand those complicated issues and
controversies about the efficacy and safety of several types of artificially-designed vaccines that have been causing a lot of distress to people and global uproar, as well as agreement and disagreement disagreement and stress among doctors and scientists till time of this writing
