I know this is the thing we've been debating for months now, but the goal of this is to ELIMINATE COVID-19, and the way you do that is to get as many people immune to it as possible.
It's true that people will be MORE protected if they can get the vaccine, but it's not 100%. And the lower the vaccination rates, the longer it can hang around. If it hangs around, that's what leads to a need for repeated doses in the future and vaccinating babies.
In short, if we half ass the vaccination effort the way we've half assed everything to do this point, we'll continue to suffer the consequences of doing so. Will it be as bad as it is now? No. But can't we all just do what we're supposed to do so that we can be DONE with this damn thing?
