They can't all be. A significant chunk of the people at risk are also immunocompromised, which means the vaccine will be counter indicated and they rely on the disease not reaching them.
In order for the disease not to reach them, you need herd immunity.
Also, do you want to have a normal life again? Take the damn vaccine. We won't get to looser restrictions without achieving herd immunity, and herd immunity needs 60 percent of people, not the 3 percent at risk.
"I'll let others get it and be part of the 40 percent who want to have a normal life ASAP but won't do anything to contribute to that" is the most selfish shit.
- sonotmyname 6y agoYou're presupposing that the vaccines make you incapable of becoming contagious - that has yet to be proven.
- scrollaway 6y agoYes, that line of logic requires this to be true. But although it hasn't been proven in the field (since, you know, we have just started handing them out), it is the desired (and likely) outcome of the vaccine. This entire exercise in waiting for the vaccine was so we could get there.
