"During this time, businesses, restaurants, and transportation were kept open, and public life continued relatively unabated. Nevertheless, the second wave peaked and subsided on its own... the possibility of herd immunity
should be considered." [OP link]

Dumb comment.
From your test:
21.4 % of those individualswho tested seronegative became seropositive and seroreversion was found in 12.2 % ofinitially seropositive participants. 81.1% of IgM positive cases at first testing becameIgM negative in approximately one month.
Second, IgM positivity is short-lived, typically turning negative over one month.Third, seroreversion was not infrequent, seen in 12% of participants over the one-monthspan between tests. This suggests that serological testing may significantlyunderestimate past COVID-19 infections, particularly when applied to an asymptomaticpopulation.This study has several limitations. First, the cohort was a sampling of a single largecompany in Tokyo and not of the population, in general. Second, detailed medicalhistories and behavioral patterns of each employee were not obtained. Suchinformation would have been helpful in understanding the role of cross-exposure andthe factors associated with reduced fatality. Third, paired testing was separated by amonth. Closer intervals may have yielded more granular insights into the immunologicalresponses to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
There is no herd immunity. What this study shows, is that asymptomatic individuals can indeed spread Covid.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Japan wants very badly to host the Olympics in 2021. They have preordered massive doses of vaccine and plan to vaccinate their people. They also plan to cover the cost of adverse reactions to the vaccines. This plan does not sound like a country who has herd immunity.

Who do you want to listen to, a proven bullshitter like NotAllThere or actual science?

There are no categorical statements to be made about a *novel* virus. That’s dumb.

*Something* has to explain Japan. If it’s not herd immunity, what is it?
The study’s authors were forced to leave open the possibility of herd immunity.

Perhaps you should read your link?
I highlighted the admitted shortcoming in the test. Overwhelmingly, the study proves that there cannot be herd immunity without a vaccine.
'Possibility' is not something that you want to see in a scientific study.
I'm looking for, at the very least, 'probability'.
