I'd keep an eye on death rates. We've already given up on the idea that the vaccine prevents infection, but what if there's no impact on deaths too in regard to whatever strain is burning through Europe?
There is also very fun shit that having half of a population vaccinated and another half not creates evolutionary pressure to develop vaccine resistance. It's like taking antibiotics at half dosage.
Well said, also there's that whole reserve population in the third world who we don't even bother making vaccines for. So even if we got vaccination rates right at home, we'd still be fucking up.
