Italy is at 80% and they still see the need to ban unvaccinated people from places. New Zealand is planning to ban unvaccinated people form places after we reach 90% of over-12-year-olds. So even with a massive 80% vaccinated, the vaccine doesn't stop the spread. Maybe it would at 90%? 95%? Who knows.

In New Zealand, the unvaccinated are largely the indigenous Maori, not stereotypical anti-vaxxers.

The media really wants to paint the average antivaxxer as white rednecks, when white people are among the most heavily vaccinated demographics.

I think you'd find that Māori are doing OK. Better than Pacific Islanders.

But yes, there's hard-to-reach people in every ethnicity. What I've enjoyed is the orgs who are vaccinating Māori and Pacific Islanders - always tell the community to come along even if you don't fit in either ethnicity, you'll still get a jab. I just love that. It's the way it should be!

We're all people, let's look after each other.

In contrast to Whānau Waipareira which tried to exclude non-Maori by using a password to restrict access to vaccines? https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2021/09/act-leader-d...

My experience is with South Island, so primarily Ngāi Tahu and others. The one you linked is total crap, I agree.

Herd immunity from measles requires at least 95% of the population vaccinated. For polio, it's 80%.

Herd immunity only requires a certain percentage of the population to be immune. It doesn't matter how the immunity is acquired.

Given enough time, all populations will eventually attain herd immunity.
