If we’re relying on solely getting immunity ourselves then we’re in really bad shape, although its not been well communicated.

We need the vaccine to remove the virus from circulation, not just keep us safe from it as individuals.

We don't have evidence that is possible. There have been vaccines in the past that protected without stopping spread. We think that the reasons that happened don't apply, but we don't know that.
