So you vaccinate, and continue to social distance and/or mask inside buildings that aren't your own, until 80% of the population has been vaccinated. At that point, you can assume herd immunity has kicked in, and everyone's good to go.

Why does anyone have an actual problem with that?
OBB...... what are your feelings if we do not reach that very valuable safe herd immunity because of those folks who are vaccine hesitant and the folks who are out and out anti-vaxxers? I will have a very difficult time masking when these folks do nothing to help themselves for protection. That is when my mask comes off, herd immunity or not. If they won't help themselves, I'm not going to either. How do you feel about that?
