Epidemiological theory teaches us that a microbial agent introduced into a population stops circulating when the proportion of the population that is immune to that agent is higher than or equal to 1-1/R0, where R0 is the much-discussed reproduction rate, the number of secondary cases generated by each infected person in a non-immune population in the absence of control measures. In France, where...
