    Covid is endemic in the US. The more people vaccinated, the less the virus will be able to mutate this fall. The less it mutates, the less lethal it will continue to become. By stopping the vaccinations, covid will spread faster and could become more dangerous as a result.

      I don’t disagree.

      My point is that at risk individuals will remain at risk, regardless of the vaccinated status of people around them.

      Anyone assuming their covid^1 vaccine will protect others is putting them in danger.

      1^(other vaccines like measles and smallpox do protect others).
