More than half of all Americans “plan to stockpile food and other essentials” for the chaotic months ahead

There was a time when preppers were relentlessly mocked , but nobody is laughing now .
Today , most Americans are thinking about stockpiling food , and this massive shift in our national mindset has been sparked by concern about what is going to happen in the months ahead .

There was a time when preppers were relentlessly mocked, but nobody is laughing now. Today, most Americans are thinking about stockpiling food, and this massive shift in our national mindset has been sparked by concern about what is going to happen in the months ahead. Many Americans believe that another wave of the coronavirus pandemic is coming, others believe that our ongoing economic depression will get even deeper, and yet others are convinced that the upcoming election could produce widespread violence. Of course there have always been people that have been deeply alarmed about future events, but we have never seen anything quite like this. In fact, a brand new survey has found that over half of all Americans are currently planning “to stockpile food and other essentials”…
Slightly more than half of Americans in a recent poll from Sports and Leisure Research Group say they already have or plan to stockpile food and other essentials. The chief reason: fears of a resurgent pandemic, which could lead to disruptions such as new restrictions on businesses. On Oct. 2, the number of COVID-19 cases in the USA was its highest in almost two months.
People still remember the shortages that we witnessed earlier this year when the coronavirus pandemic first erupted in this country, and those that ended up being stuck at home without enough toilet paper would rather not repeat that experience.
So as the mainstream media continues to hype a new wave of the pandemic, we should expect to see Americans hitting the grocery stores really hard. And according to data company Envestnet Yodlee, there is evidence that this is already happening…
Already, there’s some evidence that grocery sales are rising, according to data from industry sources. The typical bill for a trip to the grocery store rose to $72 for the week ended October 6, or 11% higher from the week before, according to data company Envestnet Yodlee. “That’s the highest we’ve seen since the first week of June and the second-highest since we started tracking this in January,” said Bill Parsons, group president of data and analytics at Evestnet.
Fortunately, many grocery store chains anticipated a spike in demand in advance and started stocking up ahead of time. The following comes from CNN…
Grocery stores across the United States are stocking up on products to avoid shortages during a second wave of coronavirus. Household products — including paper towels and Clorox wipes — have been difficult to find at times during the pandemic, and if grocery stores aren’t stocked up and prepared for second wave this winter, runs on products and shortages could happen again.
During a time when other retailers all over the nation are failing at a pace that we have never seen before, many grocery store chains are actually experiencing booming sales.
And of course I have been warning that this would eventually happen for a very long time. During a time of crisis, demand for food and other essentials tends to go up and demand for non-essential items tends to go down.
Needless to say, this is something that is not just happening in the United States. All over the world we have seen demand for food on the rise, and this comes at a time when global food production has become increasingly stressed.
As a result, food prices all over the world are starting to escalate quite aggressively…
Food prices continue rising during the coronavirus pandemic, jeopardizing food security for tens of millions worldwide. On Thursday, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations said world food prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in September, led by surging prices for cereals and vegetable oils, reported Reuters. FAO’s food price index, which tracks the international prices of the top traded food commodities (cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat, and sugar), averaged 97.9 in September versus a downwardly revised 95.9 in August.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
Global food supplies will continue to get even tighter, and global demand for food will just continue to shoot higher.
So I would stock up while you still can, because prices will never be lower than they are right now.

Meanwhile, our society continues to unravel right in front of our eyes. You would think that the Lakers winning the NBA title would be a time to celebrate for the city of Los Angeles, but instead large crowds of young people used it as an opportunity to riot and attack police officers…
A crowd of more than 1,000 revelers descended into the area around Staples Center after the game. Unruly individuals mixed within the crowd began throwing glass bottles, rocks, and other projectiles at officers. That is when an unlawful assembly was declared, and only a limited number of people complied and began to disperse. A larger portion of the group broke off and began vandalizing businesses while continuing to engage in violent behavior, some aimed at responding officers.
In Portland, protesters just toppled statues of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln during a “day of rage”, but the mainstream media didn’t seem to think that this was any sort of a problem.
And in the middle of the country, the violence never seems to stop in the city of Chicago…
Five people were killed and 48 others were injured by gunfire this weekend in Chicago. Five of those wounded were teenagers. Last weekend saw 37 people shot throughout the city, five of them fatally.
Of course things could soon get a whole lot worse.
According to one recent survey, 56 percent of all Americans expect “an increase in violence as a result of the election”.
Isn’t that incredibly sad?
Many are still hoping that such a scenario can be avoided if one of the candidates is able to build an extremely large lead on election night. A large enough lead could potentially cause the candidate that is behind to concede fairly quickly, and that may ease tensions.
But I wouldn’t count on that.
At this point we are about 500 hours away from the election, and both sides are indicating that they are prepared to fight until the bitter end.
And the side that ultimately ends up losing is likely to throw a massive temper tantrum, and that won’t be good for our country at all.
So it makes sense that so many Americans are making extra preparations for the months that are ahead, because it definitely appears that they could be quite rocky.

Gold’s rally is showing signs of a revival.
The spot metal has posted two straight weekly gains, and at least one technical signal is pointing to further increases. Bullion’s moving average convergence-divergence indicator, a gauge of price momentum, crossed above the so-called signal line last week for the first time since early August in a bullish sign for traders who follow price patterns.

Of course, never ending juice from The Federal Reserve is helping.
And the juice isn’t going away until after 2023 (according to the Fed Dots plot).
Its a shame for the people of Venezuela that they can’t pump gold instead of oil given that their 9.25% sovereign bond has fallen from over $100 in 2013 to $9.28 today.

We’d all like to believe that the United States is on the road to economic recovery and that things are going to get better. Everyone wants to think the store shelves are just a few cargo ships away from being refilled. People want to believe that once 2020 is over, life will return to “normal” and that we’re just having a really bad year.
But someone pointed out an article I published four and a half years ago and when you look at the things which happened there and compare them to our situation, you may notice some uncanny similarities.
Here’s how Venezuela ran out of food.
In February of 2016, I wrote about what an economic collapse really looks like, using Venezuela as an illustration.
Venezuela:
The article begins when prepping began to be frowned upon by the Venezuelan government.
In 2013, many began to suspect that the outlook for Venezuela was grim when prepping became illegal. The Attorney General of Venezuela, Luisa Ortega Díaz, called on prosecutors to target people who are “hoarding” basic staples with serious sanctions. Shortly thereafter, grocery stores instituted a fingerprint registry to purchase food and supplies. Families had to register and were allotted a certain amount of supplies to prevent “hoarding.” (source)
The United States:
Early in 2020, supplies began to be difficult to find due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the potential of a lockdown. When folks couldn’t find basics like toilet paper, fingers immediately began to point at “preppers” and “hoarders.”
The word “hoarding” is being repeatedly used throughout news reports. They’re already working to paint preppers as bad and selfish people. They’re already vilifying those who hurry out to fill any gaps in their supplies. They’re making it seem like a mental illness to get prepared for what could potentially be a long stretch of time at home with only the supplies you have on hand. This is a frequent trick of propagandists everywhere. Repeat a word often enough and suddenly everyone begins using it. Everyone begins to believe that the people labeled with an ugly word are terrible, selfish, and threats to decency. (source)
This dialogue is still in place, with people being shamed for large purchases, when in fact, they’re simply getting necessities for a large family. A friend of mine with a large family has said she’d have to shop every two days with the original limits stores posted to keep everyone in her household well-fed.
Venezuela:
It wasn’t long until the basics were incredibly difficult to acquire.
Then, just over a year ago, it became even more apparent that the country was falling. when long lines for basic necessities such as laundry soap, diapers, and food became the norm rather than the exception. Thousands of people were standing in line for 5-6 hours in the hopes that they would be able to purchase a few much-needed items. (source)
The United States:
Writers on this website have talked about the shelves being cleared back in March, what we may see in shortage after halting many imports from China, and the fact that in most parts of the country, the supply chain is clearly broken.
People from all over the country have reported in the comments the bare spots in their local stores, with a few exceptions who say that everything in their part of the nation is back to normal. Many areas still have limits on how many packages of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and canned goods customers can purchase months after the original panic-fueled shopping sprees.
Venezuela:
Shortly after the story broke to the rest of the world, the propaganda machine shifted into high gear. As the government began to ration electricity, it was announced that this was not due to economic reasons at all, but instead was a measure of their great concern for the environment. (source)
The United States:

As the situation continued to devolve, farmers in Venezuela were forced to hand over their crops last summer. They assumed control of essential goods like food, and began putting retail outlets out of business. Then, once they had control of the sales outlets, they began forcing farmers and food manufacturers to sell anywhere from 30-100% of their products to the state at the price the state opted to pay, as opposed to stores and supermarkets. But that wasn’t enough to keep the population fed. (Isn’t it astonishing how much less motivated people are to produce food and supplies when they are no longer allowed to benefit from their hard work? Historically, collectivism and farming have never gone successfully hand in hand.) This January, the government told citizens that they would need to produce their own food. The Ministry of Urban Farming was created to oversee this. While self-reliance sounds great, it isn’t so great in Venezuela. Just so the urban farmers don’t get too self-reliant, a registry of the crops and livestock will be required.

The President signed an Executive Order to force people to go back to work at meat packaging plants and also tried to organize a way to get food that was just being thrown out to the people who desperately needed it.
So while nobody has insisted farmers hand over their crops without compensation, the government is clearly getting involved in the distribution of food.
Venezuela:
Eventually, all the measures the government of Venezuela took to hide the catastrophic collapse from citizens could hold up no longer.
Venezuela is out of food. After several years of long lines, rationing, and shortages, the socialist country does not have enough food to feed its population, and the opposition government has declared a “nutritional emergency.” This is just the most recent nail in the beleaguered country’s slow, painful economic collapse. Many people expect an economic collapse to be shocking, instant, and dramatic, but really, it’s far more gradual than that. It looks like empty shelves, long lines, desperate government officials trying to cover their tushes, and hungry people. For the past two years, I’ve been following the situation in Venezuela as each shocking event has unfolded. Americans who feel that our country would be better served by a socialist government would be wise to take note of this timeline of the collapse. (source)
It only took 3 years from the first report (about making “hoarding” illegal) for the once oil-rich country to fall into a ruin so extreme that there wasn’t enough food for everyone.
The United States:
While we are by no means at the point where there is no more food, there are all sorts of warning signs that day could come – and sooner than expected. Many aspects of our system are crumbling, the supply chain is definitely broken, stores are already preparing for the second wave of shortages, and a simulation has predicted a 400% increase in the price of food by 2030.
An important side note
I’m sure it’s merely a coincidence but Venezuelans lost their firearms at around the same time “hoarding” was deemed illegal.
Most readers of this website are well aware of concentrated efforts across the United States to undermine the Second Amendment over the past 9 years it has been operating. For more information on these efforts, check out these articles.
How far will we fall in the United States?
This side-by-side comparison is certainly not identical to the crisis in Venezuela, but there are enough similarities that you should be very uncomfortable with our situation.

Those who are prepared may still struggle but they’ll be far better off than those who are completely blindsided by the continued collapse.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-13--IMF Should Just Write Off Bad Loans And Keep Its Pretend Gold

by Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee ( GATA ) Since the International Monetary Fund makes a career out of lending money to countries that can ’ t repay it , why not just give the money away in the first place and keep the gold ?
After all , the money lent by the IMF is just a credit without any tangible existence like gold , which is a real asset — at least before it is hypothecated .
Besides , the gold attributed to the IMF does seem to be largely hypothecated itself , a dodgy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States , Britain , France , and India .
The metal is not in the IMF ’ s own vault , since the IMF doesn ’ t have one .
And doesn ’ t the IMF notice — does anyone notice — that most of the poor countries that long have received IMF loans and loan forgiveness have remained poor even though many of them are rich in natural resources , including gold ?
The IMF could start to look like a scheme of keeping them poor rather than encouraging them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher , free-market prices — if the developed-country governments rigging the currency markets ever wanted to allow higher commodity prices .
Debt campaigners are calling for the International Monetary Fund to sell some of its stockpile of gold to cover the debt payments owed by the world ’ s poorest countries for the next 15 months .
With a looming developing world debt crisis high on the agenda at this week ’ s annual meetings of the IMF , the Jubilee Debt Campaign said gold sales would help the most vulnerable countries cope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way for a broader debt deal .
he IMF holds 90.5 million ounces of gold , or 2,814 metric tonnes , worth about $ 175 billion ( L134 billion ) at current prices .
A sharp rise in the price of the precious metal means that since the start of 2020 the value of the IMF ’ s gold reserves has increased in value by $ 38 billion .
The campaign said selling less than 7 % of the IMF ’ s gold would generate a $ 12 billion profit , which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 73 poorest countries until the end of 2021 and still leave the Washington-based organisation with $ 26 billion more gold than it held at the start of the year .
Both the IMF and its sister organisation , the World Bank , have identified the need for a comprehensive debt relief plan for poor countries , which would include debts owed to governments , multilateral organisations , and the private sector .

Since the International Monetary Fund makes a career out of lending money to countries that can’t repay it, why not just give the money away in the first place and keep the gold? After all, the money lent by the IMF is just a credit without any tangible existence like gold, which is a real asset — at least before it is hypothecated.
Besides, the gold attributed to the IMF does seem to be largely hypothecated itself, a dodgy claim against national gold reserves vaulted in the United States, Britain, France, and India. The metal is not in the IMF’s own vault, since the IMF doesn’t have one.
And doesn’t the IMF notice — does anyone notice — that most of the poor countries that long have received IMF loans and loan forgiveness have remained poor even though many of them are rich in natural resources, including gold? The IMF could start to look like a scheme of keeping them poor rather than encouraging them to prosper by developing their resources at higher, free-market prices — if the developed-country governments rigging the currency markets ever wanted to allow higher commodity prices.
Campaigners Urge IMF to Sell Gold to Provide Debt Relief
By Larry Elliott
The Guardian, London
Sunday, October 11, 2020
Debt campaigners are calling for the International Monetary Fund to sell some of its stockpile of gold to cover the debt payments owed by the world’s poorest countries for the next 15 months.
With a looming developing world debt crisis high on the agenda at this week’s annual meetings of the IMF, the Jubilee Debt Campaign said gold sales would help the most vulnerable countries cope with the Covid-19 shock and pave the way for a broader debt deal.
he IMF holds 90.5 million ounces of gold, or 2,814 metric tonnes, worth about $175 billion (L134 billion) at current prices.
A sharp rise in the price of the precious metal means that since the start of 2020 the value of the IMF’s gold reserves has increased in value by $38 billion.
The campaign said selling less than 7% of the IMF’s gold would generate a $12 billion profit, which is enough to cancel the debts owed by the 73 poorest countries until the end of 2021 and still leave the Washington-based organisation with $26 billion more gold than it held at the start of the year.
Both the IMF and its sister organisation, the World Bank, have identified the need for a comprehensive debt relief plan for poor countries, which would include debts owed to governments, multilateral organisations, and the private sector.
The campaign said gold sales would act as a catalyst for a broad debt deal and help convince China, a big creditor, that it would not be asked to shoulder a disproportionate share of the relief effort. …

( Natural News ) Less than a year after the coronavirus pandemic reached the United States , its drastic effects can already be seen in the lives of many Americans .
A new report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed how COVID-19 has impacted the prices of consumer goods across the supply chain .

(Natural News) Less than a year after the coronavirus pandemic reached the United States, its drastic effects can already be seen in the lives of many Americans. A new report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed how COVID-19 has impacted the prices of consumer goods across the supply chain. In particular, the pandemic led to a sharp uptick in food price indexes, and disruptions in production and distribution resulted in price volatility.
“These shocks rippled through the economy and affected the prices consumers pay in the grocery store,” added the report.
COVID-19 has kneecapped food supply chains in the U.S.
Beyond it being a public health burden, COVID-19 is also an economic burden. According to economists, the pandemic combines aspects of supply and demand shocks. Lockdowns, such as those implemented in China and other parts of the world, are considered a supply shock as these prevent industries from producing goods or providing services. On the other hand, people avoiding restaurants for fear of catching COVID-19 is considered a demand shock, or a situation that reduces a consumer’s ability to purchase goods and services. Additionally, the loss of income – either from layoffs or furloughs – contribute to demand shock.
COVID-19 has also exposed the weaknesses of the U.S. food supply chain. Empty shelves lining supermarkets while farmers dump milk and abandon crops have become emblems of supply chain failure. Taken together, this has caused import, export, producer and consumer prices to become volatile, especially during the onset of the pandemic. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report showed that prices for meat, fish, dairy and eggs were impacted the most.
By April, the outbreak started to accelerate in the United States. Outbreaks in meat processing facilities in the country resulted in a domestic meat shortage. A subsequent increase in demand for meat imports led to a 16 percent increase in prices, the highest since the index was published in 1993. Export meat prices also rose, driven by a lack of available meat due to COVID-19-related shutdowns. Prices for imported meat continued to rise in June, even as meat processing facilities previously hit by COVID-19 outbreaks were back online.
Fish and shellfish prices also experienced shocks in supply and demand. Lobster prices were down during the height of the pandemic due to a decline in demand from the restaurant and cruise industries, which the pandemic effectively shut down. Both export and import prices for fish and shellfish were similarly impacted by the pandemic, falling by 17.1 and 8.4 percent from January to June this year, respectively.
Other foodstuffs affected by the pandemic include milk and cheese, both of which mainly suffered from the shutdown of the foodservice industry. During the shutdown, export prices for dairy declined by 11.8 percent mainly caused by unexpected oversupply, as well as higher input costs. Demand started to recover in June, thanks to states reopening and foodservice slowly resuming. Eggs were also affected by the pandemic, with export prices falling sharply over the same period.
Rising food prices also seen in the rest of the world
The Food and Agriculture Organization also reported a similar trend in global food prices, with the main drivers for the increase being coarse grains, vegetable oils and sugar. The food agency’s food price index for August averaged at 96.1, over two points higher than that of the previous month.
An upswing from the food price index could be taken as a positive sign at first, especially after dropping from January through April because of COVID-19 and bottoming in May. (Related: Poll shows most Americans support shutting down the economy again to stop the coronavirus.)

The rise also means steady inflation in prices in every part of the supply chain, which can spell bad news for low-income households – most of which are wholly reliant on coronavirus protections, as well as financial aid.

Also, food producers in Southeast Asia and Latin America are still battling the pandemic on their home fronts, further complicating the recovery of world trade.
Taken together, a hobbling economy, record levels of unemployment and rising food prices can only mean more bad news for struggling families in the U.S. and all over the world.

September and early October increase in positive tests is over.
UK: 13,972 official number of positive tests or one third of Vallance and Whitty’s fraudulent projections from September 23.
Official number of deaths “with” covid remain very low at around one death per day per million people.
An uptick in flu like diseases ALWAYS happens at this time of year.
Spain: Official number of positive tests are rapidly declining.
Number of daily deaths also declining.
France: The rapid rise of official positive PCR tests (most of which are false positives) may now be over.
Previous few days had seen an average of 20,000 per day.
Today they reported only 8,505.
A large part of the recent rise in positive tests in Western Europe is due to the mass testing of asymptomatic students who are not ill, not infectious, and not a danger to anyone.
Boris Johnson in the UK, Macron in France and the Spanish government have recently implemented further insane Covid restrictions on the basis of falsified, fake numbers to try and keep the panic and mass hysteria going.
These restrictions will kill and harm millions more people, while doing absolutely nothing to prevent any Covid deaths, and further destroy their economies – increasing poverty and unemployment.
UK Update reports 13,972 positive PCR tests and 50 official deaths “with Covid”.
This is from a massive 259,000 PCR tests which are notoriously unreliable. Most of the UK’s “positive” tests are false positivies from traces of viral fragments from people who were exposed to, and recovered from, the virus weeks ago. Covid hospital admissions and deaths are still being fraudulently recorded. A patient admitted to hospital from some other cause (e.g. a heart attack, a stroke, or an accidental injury from falling down stairs) who then subsequently tests positive for Covid at some point after their admission is recorded as a “Covid admission”. The false reporting is likely to be in the range of 20 to 50%. Every patient admitted to hospital is being tested for Covid, irrespective of the reason for their admission, and even if they are displaying none of the symptoms for Covid. Deaths are similarly being fraudulently misreported. Anyone who tests posiitve for Covid (including the now 90% of false positives) and then dies for whatever reason within the next 28 days is recorded as a “Covid Death”. So an 88 year old patient in the terminal stages of cancer or has suffered a heart attack and has been assessed as only having a few days, or weeks to live will be recorded as a “Covid Death”.
Spain Update
Spain reports a total of 9,286 positive tests for the last 3 days, or an average of 3,100 a day (it did not report new covid cases or deaths over the weekend).
Spain’s temporary blip is over and the number of positive tests is rapidly declining.

Emergency orders Gov .

For any political leader in a democratic country , any links or association with the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) is like a death knell .
The Democrats are repeatedly finding themselves on the wrong side when it comes to China , as after Kamala Harris ’ alleged CCP links , a US Senate report has revealed that US Presidential candidate Joe Biden ’ s son , Hunter Biden has links with Chinese and Ukrainian firms .
In an explosive revelation , a US Senate Committee has alleged that Hunter Biden was paid $ 50,000 a month to serve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian natural gas company when his father , Joe Biden was the US Vice President during the Obama administration .
According to the US Senate report , the Treasury records accessed by Chairman Grassley and Chairman Johnson showed Biden Jr and his family including his associates were involved in “ potential criminal activity relating to transactions with Ukrainian , Russian , Kazakh and Chinese nationals.
” The report further alleged that the Biden family was involved in a “ vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Rosemont Seneca Thornton , an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden received $ 3.5 million in wire transfer from Elena Baturina who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband , the former mayor of Moscow.

The burning question is that why Hunter Biden was handed millions of dollars from foreign sources in China .
Biden Jr is yet to give an explanation on the matter .

In an explosive revelation, a US Senate Committee has alleged that Hunter Biden was paid $50,000 a month to serve at the board of Burisma — a Ukrainian natural gas company when his father, Joe Biden was the US Vice President during the Obama administration.
According to the US Senate report, the Treasury records accessed by Chairman Grassley and Chairman Johnson showed Biden Jr and his family including his associates were involved in “potential criminal activity relating to transactions with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh and Chinese nationals.”

Thus, there exists a vast web of corporate connections and financial transactions between and among the Biden family and Chinese nationals,” claimed the report.
The burning question is that why Hunter Biden was handed millions of dollars from foreign sources in China. Biden Jr is yet to give an explanation on the matter.
The troubles seem to be mounting as the latest development came close on the heels of the fact that Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff was found to have a partnership with a company representing organizations of the CCP throwing the Democrat campaign into a disarray.
It has been alleged that Emhoff is a partner in the investment services firm DLA Piper, which has represented the CCP affiliated companies in the United States and Europe for nearly 30 years, thus raising the concerns of a conflict of interest.
It is no secret that Xi Jinping is praying everyday to ensure a Biden Presidency since Donald Trump appears to be in no mood to let China off the hook after the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. A re-elected Trump with no elections to face, will only increase the pressure on China and ensure that the nation is diplomatically and economically isolated.

Massive economic disparity today as certain businesses flourish and others fail. Certain businesses that were producing billions in revenue every year are now completely bankrupt. We are witnessing a scale of unlimited potential for failure. This presents future issues as well because the impact is truly unknown. The response from government?

Chinese scientists are claiming to have achieved a crucial agricultural breakthrough, growing high-yield rice in salt water.
The new strain has been previously tried and tested, but scientists from the Qingdao Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center reportedly managed to nearly triple yields, to 4.5 metric tons per hectare, making it ready for commercialization.
Saltwater cultivation may boost China’s rice production by nearly 20 percent and will be able to feed more than 200 million people, according to the research leader Yuan Longping, known as China’s ‘father of hybrid rice.’

The head of the World Health Organization warned Monday against suggestions by some to just allow COVID-19 to spread in the hope of achieving so-called herd immunity, saying this was “unethical.”
“Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a virtual press briefing. He explained that “herd immunity is a concept used for vaccination, in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.”

He pointed out that for measles, for example, it is estimated that if 95% of the population is vaccinated, the remaining 5% will also be protected from the spread of the virus.
