I don't believe the Polio vaccine does. In any case, that's Kander's definition of "working", completely preventing an infection. Never mind that the vaccines reduce likelihood of severe disease and hospitalization dramatically.
From where? There would be no clusters of living carriers, just as there are no clusters of living smallpox and polio carriers in the US.
smallpox or pollio.. because,, damnit those vaccines, they work.
Yes. Why? Because nearly everyone is vaccinated against polio and smallpox!
Pandemic ends when just about everyone has either been vaccinated or infected by coronavirus. Infections will continue to occur in the future, no doubt, because that's the nature of coronaviruses. Previous exposure-or vaccination-doesn't provide immunity.
Obviously, vaccination is quicker route to endemnicity and less of a burden on hospitals. It seems that a lot of the MAGAs nationwide are choosing to role the dice with infection. Well, it's good to have something you consider worth possibly dying for I guess.
