Your post seems to ignore natural immunity completely. As in people who have had covid already and are immune, or already have cross reactive immunity from a coronavirus strain in a previous cold season.

This Doctor in the Wall Street Journal last month brings attention to herd immunity gained through previous infection.

You are right it does ignore it. I would be fine to make an exception for someone who has natural immunity. It might make it needlessly complicated which explains why businesses are making it simple and mandating vaccinations.
