Though there are multiple factors involved in disease transmission, the most important factor is the percentage of the population that is vaccinated. And that is within our ability to control.
No.
What matters is the percentage of the population that’s reasonably resistant or immune to the disease. He assumption you’re making is that the only possible way to get there is to for everyone to line up and get the shot.
Diseases and illnesses live on a spectrum. Take smallpox - it’s deadly enough that we don’t want it around. Get the shot - any risks are outweighed by the benefits.
With COVID, now mutated to less destructive variants, that’s no longer necessary.
