Not an epidemiologist, but I think the goal of mass vaccination if to make R drop to well below 1. If everybody is vaccinated with a 90% effective vaccine, then R drops by a factor of 10 (I think) so that sounds pretty good?
- MagnumOpus 6y agoYes, R is at 1.3 with WFH and other restriction. In March, R was 3-5 without restrictions. If everyone got vaccinated with 90% effectivity (or even 70%), it would be enough. However, availability won't be sufficient to get to 100% within a year, and compliance seems to be somewhere around 50-70% at most given polls. (There are a huge number of people even in this forum who are antisocial - "I won't get vaccinated until I have seen super-long-term effects, and screw the people who I superspread the disease to".)
- skocznymroczny 6y agoAntisocial? Let me decide about myself. How did it go, "my body, my choice"? Also, I find it interesting how everyone suddenly trusts 100% every claim made by big pharmaceutical companies, even though most of them don't have a good history. Volkswagen was also complying to all the laws and standards, until it turned out it actually didn't.
