<\/p>\nRUSH: I got an email, just checked an email. Honestly — not making this up — it came from Rio Linda, or it says it\u2019s from Rio Linda — “could you explain herd immunity?” Yeah, I can explain herd immunity and I can probably explain it in the simplest, least complex way that you\u2019ve ever had it explained to you. In a nutshell, if enough people get the virus and thus have the antibody, when you get the virus — and we\u2019re gonna assume you survive it — you now have an antibody to it. You have an immunity to it. It\u2019s true of many viruses, not all, \u2019cause you get the cold frequently, the flu has different strains.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But herd immunity I believe is happening in many states, and in many parts of states. Very simply, if enough people get the virus, enough people in a state, enough people in a town, any large group, and thus have the antibody, then the virus cannot spread. If it goes into a person with the antibody, the virus dies. It is defeated by the antibody which exists after you have been infected, whether you\u2019ve had symptoms or not.<\/p>\n
This is why the antibody tests are so crucial. A lot of people never have any symptoms, but they have built up the antibody. The virus dies in every person who has the antibodies. It\u2019s not passed on to somebody else who has not had it. That\u2019s what herd immunity does. It stops the spread. And it\u2019s amazing that so many people are pooh-poohing this. And who are these people pooh-poohing it? I\u2019ll give you one question. I\u2019ll give you one answer, give you one hint. They belong to a political party that begins with the letter D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
