Strength and weakness of disease-induced herd immunity in networks | PNAS
When a fraction of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, the population-wide

New paper in PNAS!🎉 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Is Bluesky a bubble?
We collected all 1B+ posts since Dec'24.
13% of content is political.
We found high polarization, but also strong imbalance: on most topics, the opposing stance made up just 1–2% of users.
Strongest split: Gaza, Ukraine, Musk & Trump

In our new preprint, we study the herd immunity effect against infectious diseases induced by natural infection (i.e. immunity is gained after exposure to the disease). arxiv.org/abs/2307.04700
