What would change if everyone was vaccinated? What is the goal or end game here?

If vaccines wane in effectiveness, does the booster work towards the same goal as vaccines?

A 25% increase in total effective immunity of the population is...noteworthy.

Does that depend on which vaccine was taken, which age group, or other factors?

if 30% of the population is 25% more protected but 70% of the population is not vaccinated we are not going anywhere.

But if 90% of the population have a vaccine that is 25% less effective we still can beat the virus.
