that's why it shouldn't be a mandatory vaccine but a free choice.
if it works, why should vaccinated people feel endangered by a non vaccinated ones?
on a side note, they started encouraging pregnants women in ireland to get vaccinated, or vaccinate their children after birth.
absolute disgrace
i hear more talk about it becoming mandatory than actual examples of it being mandatory.
as to the other point herd immunity for a vaccinated population means if all people are vaccinated and have 95% immunity not only is it nearly impossible to reach epidemic levels, but spread is severely stagnated even in small populations.
20 people could contact a c19 positive person not wearing a mask and only 1 would get c19, then if he/she is replaced by 1 more vaccinated person the next day, still only 1 gets sick on the next round of contact.
if however 30% of those 20 people, aka 6 people, are not vaccinated, that same 20 person contact group is going to see 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 contract covid. then the next day the spread is far more rapid.
pockets of unvaccinated people can perpetuate the epidemic effect, even if its far lower than what it was previous to vaccination.
these localized out breaks will make headline news, and will be seized upon by politicians to perpetuate lockdown procedures, keep mask mandates in place, etc.
as to the last point, as a father to a 9 month old and a husband to a nursing wife we will NOT get either vaccinated anytime in the near future.
