If there's even one person not vaxxed, it's all for nothing

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Most obviously, if there is only one person not vaxxed, they wouldn't be infecting anybody. But it seems logic did not occur to you.

The goal, as things have developed and turned out, is to have about 80% of all citizens 12 or over vaccinated. 100% is not needed to achieve herd immunity, especially as some in the 20% will have acquired some immunity by surviving a Covid infection.

The REAL GOAL is to get 75-80% global vaccination to deny breeding grounds for mutated variants.
