Why vaccianate everybody instead of just 10-20%?

Any other narrative than vaccine good, anti vax bad is not tolerated & is considered a conspiracy theory... You have achieved the echo chamber you so desire.  Sorry to tell you,  the king still has no clothes; and nazi's eventually get rounded up...

Viruses mutate all the time, that's why they give flu shots every year...So it stands to reason that people will need to take this vaxx 1-2 times a year indefinitely as the virus mutates to try to get the herd immunity that can never be achieved.....

 

Even still, smallpox has been eliminated from the earth and polio has been eliminated from all but Pakistan and Afghanistan.  So there is a use for vaccines.

But "my choice, my life" is a very selfish one & I trust you never want to travel internationally  in  the forseeable future. I hope you are not allowed anyway

The cost of treatment should you contract , I hope will be met by yourself or do you expect "the nanny state" to pay

The only way to  control any infectious disease is to vaccinate  the entire  population. If you don't  there will always be  further outbreaks. That is why we all receive our shots when we are young. If we don't  the only remedy  is to isolate, quarantine and improve public health  over time.  In the meantime hundreds thousands millions of people  die.  There is no other way.

Different viruses mutate at different rates.

True that the influenza virus has a very fast mutation rate

Totally faulty reasoning. Yellow fever (to give one example) is a virus disease and a vaccination lasts for at least 10 years.

 

Do try to understand that there are millions of viruses all have different mutation rates, some infect humans.

 

Your reasoning is similar to saying that because your Chihuahua can be carried in a handbag that my Saint Bernard/Great Dane can also be carried in a similar handbag.

Because the vaccine is not there to only prevent those with severe reaction from getting ill but to also reduce infection incident and reduce or eliminate mutations that can invalidate the vaccine and/or change the trajectory of the virus. 

every time there is a new infection, symptomatic or not there is a chance for a mutation, the more infections the more chances for a mutation, if it is allowed to run rampant it is inevitable that it will mutate. 

a vaccine will not reduce infections. It will, assuming it does the job it is supposed to do, reduce the effect of the infection.

Currently none of the newly developed covid vaccines have been clinically trialed on children and as a result they will not be offered to those under 16 until that happens which is some months off yet.

 

This means that at least 25% of the population will not be offered the vaccine. To achieve herd immunity its important for all responsible adults to take the vaccines when offered or available.

Why the word 'responsible' in your opinion-statement that To achieve herd immunity its important for all responsible adults to take the vaccines when offered or available.

And important for who?  Surely not for those that have serious second-thoughts about this so-called Vaccine-solution.
