There is data that shows that vaccinated people are not likely to become infected therefore are not likely to transmit the virus. There is also data that tells us that vaccinated people, if infected, do not have enough viral load to transmit the virus to others.
So.....with my "KISS" mentality, seems to me that we, as a community, would be much better off if everyone who CAN be vaccinated, GETS vaccinated.
All my opinion, of course.

I absolutely agree that we would be better off if everyone who can be vaccinated, get vaccinated. However, I also accept the reality of the situation: not everyone who can, will. And thanks to politics, not everyone who can, will even acknowledge that it's a good idea. In fact, many who can, and choose not to anyway, will bring up this or that conspiracy regarding microchips under the skin and whatever the current anti-vaxx deal is this week.
People who prefer to opt out of the vaccine - eh. I'm not happy about it, but it's their choice.
People who are vehemently AGAINST the vaccine, and spit froth out their mouths to make sure you know how horrible and evil the vaccines are - need to be removed from society until they can manage the alien infiltration in their brains better.
I am absolutely against government mandated vaccines "just because." Thankfully, the government isn't requiring them "just because." However, I have no problem with "if you're NOT vaccinated, you can't attend public school." I'm fine with "if you're NOT vaccinated, you may not work in the VA hospital." I'm fine with "if you're NOT vaccinated, you may not pass through customs in or out of our country."
You can work for any hospital that doesn't have vaccine requirements, the government has no problem with that. You can fly anywhere that doesn't involve customs. You can send your kid to a private school that doesn't require vaccines, or home-school, or unschool, or get your neighbors together and open a neighborhood cooperative school if that's what floats your boat. The government is staying out of private matters. But if you want to participate in something that the government oversees, then the government gets to make the rules, and you can either abide by them, or choose to do something else instead.
