That kind of game theory doesn't work because you'll never get close to 100% vaccination coverage so long as there are infants in the world who are too young to take the vaccine and adults who think the diligence of others will keep themselves covered.
- bayesian_horse 9y agoHerd immunity kicks in at well below 100% vaccination coverage, and that is good news for those who really can't vaccinate.
- laumars 9y agoGot any sources to back that up? 1% of an entire population is still a massive number of people. Or to put things another way: it's pretty easy to interact with 100 people each day so even just 1% of the population means you will bump into someone who isn't immunised during the course of your day.
