The key fact that's missing from your argument is that no vaccine is 100% effective, and that efficacy relies in part on herd immunity.
For example, several years ago, there were several instances of outbreaks of measles because the percentage of vaccinated individuals dropped below the threshold required to maintain herd immunity.
- robomartin 5y agoAt >90% effectiveness I have no issue at all being in a group of positive-testing people. Herd immunity isn’t a problem for me and others. It’s a problem for those who are not vaccinated. If they were smart they’d get vaccinated and we could put this behind us. The only reason I have to put on a mask when going to the store or flying is because of those who are not vaccinated. What about mutations? Sure. Evolution is a heartless beast. It does not care. It just happens. What a lesson for evolution deniers this pandemic has been! There is no such thing as a life with a 100% safety guarantee. Just a couple of weeks ago two kids from our local high school got killed due to racing cars on the street. Nobody can predict or guarantee outcomes in life. You take reasonable precautions, not racing on the street and getting vaccinated are two such precautions. Everything else is up to cosmic randomness, Jean Luke Piccard or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, take your pick.
