I think the question that so many people forget is how fast the unvaccinated themselves want to get antibodies, not how fast someone else wants to get them antibodies.
> I'd say the answer to that should be determined by the hospital capacity. If a region has sufficient hospital capacity that it would not be overwhelmed by the increase in COVID cases among the unvaccinated go ahead and lift most restrictions.
Im my country, Germany, that currently is debating mandatory vaccinations for everyone, the maximum average share of Covid patients was 5% at the top of the most deadly Covid wave. 95% of patients were in for other reasons.

> Gemessen an der vorhandenen Bettenkapazität ergibt sich eine durchschnittliche Belegungsquote von 1,3% durch COVID-19. Die höchsten tagesbezogenen Belegungsquoten gab es in der zweiten Dezemberhälfte mit knapp 5% aller Betten.
I don't want to have to undergo medical procedures, just for optimizing a statistic by a very small percentage (for two weeks in a year) that could have been optimized in other ways. Some pointless covid intervations at national level have burned so much money that nations could have built thousands of new hospitals instead.
