   Yes, which can come either from having had the virus or from being vaccinated   
   against it.  With so many shithole red state Republiscum/QAnon dumb fucks   
   refusing to be vaccinated, we won't get there.   
      
       "Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe"   
      
       Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a   
       glimmer on the horizon, the term “herd immunity” came to signify the   
   endgame:   
       the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we   
   could   
       be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives.   
      
       Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated   
   with   
       at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping,   
   and   
       there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts   
   that   
       the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the   
       foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

   We can always count on shithole red state Republiscum/QAnon dumb fucks to do   
   the   
   wrong and stupid thing.  It's too bad we can't forcibly relocate all shithole   
   red state Republiscum/QAnon dumb fucks to the Gulf coast and build a wall   
   around   
   them.
