If you accept it, you are defacto accepting any and all future vaccines. Maybe this one is ok, but maybe the next one won't be.

But that's a 2nd discussion altogether.
I think we're arguing the same point. IF we could get closer to 100% vaccination, we could stop the spread and reasonable concern for variants. But that's not going to happen. Which I think is the whole point of lifting the mask mandates. We can't just wait for everyone to get on board, because some won't no matter what.
But the 'we can't stop it so why bother' position is the exact opposite of a solution.
They faced the same opposition to the smallpox vaccine and we eradicated that, so there's still hope.
