Ah. When you write "100% of the population is not vaccinated" that's ambiguous. It can either mean 'nobody is vaccinated' or 'not everyone is vaccinated'.
No, I was asking you for clarification.
Nowhere else has vaccine mandates yet AFAIK so pretty much anywhere would be better in that regard.
Sweden and Denmark are good from what I hear. There are also several states in the US that are good (e.g. Florida and Texas), for those who can come to the US.
You're saying if even one person isn't vaccinated, nobody is?

That doesn't mean a good explanation doesn't exist.
Well, if you find it, let me know.
But I wouldn't rule it out based on lack of evidence or the evidence that is proposed is false or based on bad epistemology.
Does this mean 'But I wouldn't rule it out based on lack of evidence or the evidence that is proposed being false or based on bad epistemology.' ?
I agree with you that there has been no clear and convincing demonstration of this.
Of what?
Your writing is confusing. Review all three comments of yours and you should find at least two more issues, maybe three.
