ON HERD IMMUNITY

THINK ON THIS — “The more members of the herd (community) who were exposed to an INFECTIOUS DISEASE (caps mine for notice) and developed natural immunity to it, the less of a threat that disease posed to the entire herd (community). ”

–Dr. Arthur W. Hedrich, a health officer in Chicago, Illinois who observed that, “during 1900-1930, outbreaks of measles in Boston, MA appeared to be suppressed when 68 percent of the children contracted the virus.”

Hmmmmmmm … Hedrich’s findings came about in 1900s to 1930s. 3 DECADES later, the “Herd Immunity” WORDING was changed to, “The more members of a herd (community) who were VACCINATED against an infectious disease and developed immunity to it, the less of a threat that disease posed to the entire herd (community). “

“Hedrich’s theory of herd immunity has been twisted by the myth that vaccine acquired artificial immunity is identical to naturally acquired immunity, which is false. That myth serves to perpetuate the idea that only strict enforcement of mandatory vaccination laws will protect society from disease, which is also false. ” —thevaccinereaction.org

Now … OTOH,
The immune system is the body’s defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. … phagocytes, cells that chew up invading organisms.

Doesn’t it make sense to FEED THE IMMUNE SYSTEM to increase the body’s [PREVENTATIVE] state of homeostasis?
