Vaccines did stop transmission before delta. That's why many countries weren't big on vaccine passes, we just needed to get higher than the herd immunity threshold and it was fine, a few antivax wouldn't have changed the equation that much.
Now, herd immunity is just a dream, we can't count on the vaccinated to protect the unvaccinated anymore. So, plan B, and as it turns out, the key of plan B is also vaccines, but now we need 100% vaccinated, not 60%, so, vaccine passes.
Maybe it will change if we get better treatment, or if the virus mutates to be less lethal to those with no immunity. But for now, get vaccinated or stay at home.
