The WHO has not "flip flopped" Crappy links that are referring to the "Barrington Declaration". This statement in favor of "herd immunity" can be found on the web, along with excellent rebuttals for those interested.
What you're implying here is really a false choice: Either all (lockdowns) or nothing (herd immunity via infection). Lockdowns came as a result of having a lack of information on the virus and no testing capabilities. Now there is no political or societal will for full lockdowns in the US or Europe anymore, nor is there a need for them when adequate mitigation measures are adopted and followed. Hopefully Governor Ige has finally been convinced of this too.
