But most of those that refuse to get vaccinated will be willing to go to games, concerts, work, etc. So it'll be part "herd immunity" and part vaccine. Certain jobs (medical, of course) will probably have requirements (I assume that's legal and done with measles, etc.). It would be ideal if everyone who can get vaccinated would and hopefully it will be roughly as effective as the vaccinations most of us use today.
I'm not sure that relying on herd immunity is a viable option either at this point, being that studies continue to show that antibody levels decrease rapidly after infection. As a layman, it seems to me that this virus will continue to circulate even after a vaccine is available.
Herd immunity is not a solution from what I can tell and I partly said it tongue-in-cheek. I just hope that the anti-vaxxers don't lead to the rest of us (or people that have legit medical reasons to not be able to take it) being in danger. The anti-vax movement is pretty strong and pre-dates Trump. It's not going anywhere any time soon.

I do feel good that mask adherence is up even from a few weeks ago. Last time I commented on it, probably a month ago, I would say in the suburban/urban areas, adherence was about 75%.
