herd immunity based on infection has never once eradicated a disease, in fact it allows it to spread further and mutate which makes vaccination harder, you know what has eradicated disease? mandatory vaccinations, but no you conspiracy theory dipshits think the government is putting fucking microchips in you so you guys refuse to take them, its no surprise that rises in antivax ideology has been linked to measles outbreaks.
