According to their assessment, the studies undermine the idea that a form of natural resistance to COVID-19 could be developed through the majority of the population catching the disease and then developing immunity to it – the strategy known as “herd immunity.”
“The main conclusion of these representative cohorts is that most of the population appears to have rejoined without exposure to SARS-CoV-2, even in spaces with widespread viral circulation,” the authors wrote.
