I too got the impression that most experts stressed uncertainty. But let's assume that what Fauci said in those interview is typical. "Closer to 85%." "…can't be achieved if only 40% or 50% of the population receives the vaccine…"
From that, I hear that the necessary figure is somewhat unknown, but what's needed is likely higher than Waterford's current. If you assume that everyone vaccinated in Waterford lives there (and not in the suburbs) and that they live to be 100 years old on average, then their vaccination share is slightly below 82%. 100 sounds a little high and people in the suburbs do avail themselves of services in the city, so my guess is that the real percentage is lower.
And one sentence I don't see from Fauci is "we'll get almost the same benefit if a little fewer people are vaccinated".
