From the very end of the "article"
>or essentially 95% of the population to be vaccinated to get herd immunity. This has profound policy implications. To be provocative: If you, as a health official, know that this number is unatainable (e.g., because too many people decide not to vaccinate their kids for some reason) -- should you recommend stopping the program to mandate vaccinatons on everyone else?

To say the least this a provocative statement. Even without achieving "herd immunity" many lives will be saved. That should make decisions about vaccinations more obvious.
