Covid-19: stigmatising the unvaccinated is not justified

I believe the hope is, if being unvaccinated is stigmatised, people who are on the fence will become vaccinated, then we can finally beat this pandemic, saving tens of thousands of lives.

Of course, the fact being obese is stigmatised doesn't stop loads of people being obese, I doubt stigmatisation isn't a silver bullet for health issues.

Is there any actual indications that even if everyone was vaccinated this pandemic would go away?

Please, tell me, by what strategy do you propose we use these vaccines to end the pandemic? Please consider in your response that the pfizer vaccine wanes to 20% efficacy after 5 months [1] and the others are no better. As well consider those vaccinated still catch and spread the disease.

From where I'm sitting it seems the vaccine maximalists believe the way we end the pandemic is a global 2-3x/year dosing regiment for all the earth's citizens.
