I appreciate this paper because I feel like every single article about "herd immunity" completely misses the mark and makes some rather poor assumptions. These assumptions are likely made because they make COVID seem like a bigger deal which sells more papers and gets more clicks.

When an article discussing herd immunity assumes a completely homogeneous population I just shake my head and wonder how in the world this article got published.
