Now that the vaccines are coming, the herd immunity propagandists have to hurry with their messaging. Luckily for them, op-eds by RT, the Russia's state controlled media outlet for Western audiences, provides ready-made talking points and soundbites (thread) 1/

First, despite seeing the trucks roll out of the factories as we speak, vaccines take "too long to wait," however long that may be, so the best option is "to protect the most vulnerable people as best we can until enough of the rest of us have had it to achieve herd immunity." 2/
One way to achieve herd immunity more quickly is to never close school no matter what, because school closures cause "much more harm to children than Covid-19 ever could," including but not limited to, presumably, dying from it. 3/
Besides, any covid restrictions are "child abuse" (unlike, presumably, allowing the child to be exposed and infected to the actual virus) and as such, the restrictions "may destroy entire generation," unlike, presumably, the entire generation actually getting covid. 4/
Now, in addition to child abuse, measures like lockdowns lead to "baby abuse" which occurs, because, unlike getting infected, the "[l]ockdown] becomes a living hell for those families already in difficulty." 5/

And if you have to stay home - i.e. "living hell" - due to exposure or infection, don't make it worse by wearing a mask inside your home, because then you would have lost your "sense of perspective," which, presumably, would be worse than infecting others with the virus. 6/
If you do get infected, remember, it is all for the good cause of herd immunity, and if you think you suffer any long-term illnesses, physical or mental, it is just in your head, created by "culture of fear surrounding the pandemic." 7/
The culture of fear itself is created by "Project Fear," whatever that is, so no wonder you may feel "behavior fatigue," which can be cured by resuming to normal life and getting infected (again) and helping your country that way 8/
Always remember that all useful anti-herd immunity measures like lockdowns of any sort are "totalitarian" and have no place where you live because your country is not a totalitarian country, unlike Australia /9
There is a name for all of this anti-herd immunity madness and it is "medical authoritarianism," represented by Dr. Fauci, who, for some reason, was recognized by @time, which is wrong, because only pro-herd immunity people should be recognized by magazines and such 10/

On a more serious note, RT's op-eds throughout 2020 seem to be full of herd immunity messaging aimed at the Western audiences.
It's almost as if Russia had an interest in getting people in the West sick with the virus.
Quelle horreur.
