Very odd choice of words. "You", assuming you are referring to an individual, can never get herd immunity. Herd immunity is a concept that applies to a population, not an individual. Also, according to "you", there can never be herd immunity since neither the vaccine nor developing COVID-19 will result in immunity: you can still develop/redevelop the disease since the virus is unstable.

I started the thread on this because I felt it interesting that two different vaccines could be mixed. Morderna and Pfizer are the same type of vaccine, whereas the J&J is derived from infected animals. At the beginning of the Covid vaccine discussion some months ago, folks were concerned over the Mrna process of protection. Many "experts" assured them that the virus itself was not used to produce the vaccine. Then came the J&J using (I think) the old technology of producing a vaccine from an infected animal.
I found it very interesting that even though the two different types of vaccine were totally different in nature, that they could be mixed. Even though I received a snarky reply, I still enjoy reading the explanation of how they can be safe to mix. Sometimes getting information from experts on the Web does not make as easy to understand for the layperson as someone explaining it on a forum such as this. Thank you.
By the way, it sure seems kind of weird that those that come on here and disparage a subject or poster, still find the time to read every post made in the forum they believe is redundant or moot.
