But many states will never get to 70% vaccination rates. I’d be surprised if some make it to 55% or 60%. And in those states there are no mandates or business enforcement. Never will be. So it’s a hypothetical argument.

Once that fact becomes obvious the calculation changes. Telling vaccinated people, who are safe, to wait for an event that will never happen it a loser from the git-go.
