Question
what finally stopped the black death in europe?
herd immunity
vaccinations
lockdowns
The Black Death (bubonic plague) ended in Europe mainly due to herd immunity. Vaccinations were not available during that time (vaccination concepts came much later). Lockdown - like measures as we know now were not systematically implemented in the same way. Herd immunity occurs when a large enough portion of a population is immune (either through recovery from infection or other means) to make the spread of the pathogen difficult. In the case of the Black Death, after a large number of people either died or recovered (and likely had some level of immunity), the spread of the plague slowed and eventually subsided.
