Halifax Today - Anti-vaxxers could prevent us from having herd immunity against COVID-19

This article is optimistic that in the end, despite the anti-vaxxers, enough people will eventually come forward to have the vaccine.

The psychologist says that if we use the same standard as previous vaccines, 80 per cent of people having exposure to the virus constitutes herd immunity. “Right now we really just don’t know, are we going to voluntarily get to that 80 per cent or not,” she says.

Lackner says although a vaccine doesn’t exist yet, it’s important to research these sentiments ahead of time to gauge how people are feeling.
