Although I understand what you are saying, it is not quite accurate.
We know that no vaccine prevents any disease 100%. Not everyone will get vaccinated. However, the idea is if a percentage of the population is immune, it greatly lowers the chance of the virus spreading. The higher the percentage vaccinated, the less the risk of spread.
Philosophically, it will be interesting to see the priorities established in who gets vaccinated first....the most susceptible ( such as the elderly ) or those of future generations ( the young who seem to be less susceptible or less likely to die)? Or, those deemed most valuable to society....health care workers, truck drivers, etc? Not trying to start another argument just too much time to think.
