Right, but as a species we don’t have herd immunity; if we did then we would only have flu outbreaks when it jumped species rather than yearly. Currently it shifts around and mutates on a yearly basis because not everyone gets the shot worldwide.
It’s obviously better to completely kill off Covid (or any infectious disease) with global herd immunity, but a yearly outbreak suppressed by regular vaccination is something we have a model for, and it’s far better than where we’re at with Covid.
