Maybe, almost certainly, I’m wrong and at least confused but here’s my take! Nobody knows for certain, including scientists though they can hazard a more knowledgeable guess, what will happen in the future!
Therefore people who want to wait till 70% of the country are vaccinated and have full protection are erring on the side of caution and reducing the impact of the pandemic. We don’t currently know that 70% will be sufficient but to many that seems a reasonable hypothesis.
Others believe, with equal confidence, that once they have vaccination protection any other restrictions are unnecessary and merely provide extra inconvenience and damage their personal freedom. They are also fairly certain that the need to follow other restrictions are putting off others from getting the vaccinations.
Another group don’t appear to want a vaccine at all, again for a variety of reasons, which coming from the U.K. I don’t fully understand.
So the crux of the problem is in squaring the circle i.e. finding a compromise that is not only acceptable to all sides but absolutely focused on quashing the pandemic.
So how do we, move forward? That’s the million dollar question!
Vaccine proof would work for some, but not legal in Florida.
Removing all mitigations and saying- not vaccinated- tough take your chance! This works for some but again is unacceptable to many!
Stick it out for another month or so and review how the trends are looking.
This would be popular with some but again alienate others. If however the trend was downwards would that give people the confidence to remove everything? Personally it would make me want to continue to mask and distance to crush it further but I understand that is probably a lonely perspective. Even allowing for my inbuilt hesitancy, this would at least give some reassurance that things aren’t being rushed or that one side of the “argument” was being prioritised over the other! If that was done in tandem with vaccination targets then that would be brilliant. If the trends were genuinely going down but the vaccination targets weren’t reached then remove mitigations for the vaccinated. If the vaccination targets were reached but the trend wasn’t changing much, or as quickly as people would like still remove the need for further mitigations from the vaccinated. They could still continue to mask etc. if they chose to, though distancing would be more difficult.
Non vaccinated should continue to follow the mitigations! Yes I know that is unlikely to happen in reality but it should still be made crystal clear!
This comes with a caveat, that if cases significantly increased, reviewed at least once a month, due to the removal of mitigations then they would return for all.
Maybe, just maybe, that would work for the majority- who knows?
Right?
