The end result being, not only do people die from the targeted disease, but also from lack of care for other illnesses.
Ironically, many of those at risk are already somewhat limited in exposure due to lifestyle. For example, the elderly or the infirm are far less likely to spend time in public or travel, esp. if they are already ill and symptomatic. Thus, vaccinating them doesn't do much to lower R, but rather just eliminates some of the worst case scenarios (most burdensome and resource intensive for our healthcare systems).
It's a bit of a balancing act for sure, but any single vaccinated person will contribute to lowering R, relieving stress on our healthcare systems and improving healthcare outcomes for everyone.

truth, but thats more of a cost savings initiative sorta backed by the insurance cos with taxpayer funding, a lot of big block grants got given out to moderna, pfizer, j&j and i think even astra
we all payed 4 that, none of this is a gift or freely given charity or anything of the kind, the only thing is we have access to the braintanks that thot up the crazy idea of doing the vaccines so fast, not sure the way we are doing it is the right way, because i think we could support those people in posh lifestyles and get better results imo, but w/es
