Discussing heterogeneity of a virus is discussing the span of the disease throughout diverse communities from asymptomatic to deadly, it has nothing to do with immunity and disease transmission.

It's all about the heterogeneity of populations.
15% to 20% might even get the job done.....
Actually it is much the same mistake Tegnell initially made, thinking that asymptomatic infections reduce the impact of the disease, but really they act as a resevoir of disease and mutagens, which is why Sweden is now a full bore vaccination state! If they don't act fast, they could be forked by the end of spring!
With vaccinations there are always risks, with health strategies there is always a cost, the extreme fanatical anti-COVID vaccination and anti-COVID lockdown approach taken by some is bizarre because their unwillingness to see both sides of the argument means they miss the reality completely. They can walk right over a partial valid supporting argument for their postilion, because they only talk want to talk in absolutes no matter how absurd the claims they make might be!
So no cigar again, with a whole barn to throws rocks at it's hard to imagine how someone can keep picking up the same stone and missing completely!
