It is quite possible that we can't achieve herd immunity with Delta through (current) vaccines alone.
This makes being vaxxed even *more* desirable as you can't rely on enough others being immune to protect you by suppressing the virus as a population.

Regardless of herd immunity threshold, the more people vaccinated, the better it is - better for individuals as risk of severe illness is massively lower and better for everyone else as it brings down R since you are less likely to be infected or transmit.
And if/when we do reach some level of population immunity, I'd rather my immunity came from vaccination rather than infection which is why I am v pleased to be vaccinated!
H/T to @Meir_Rubin for raising it and thank you to twitter translate for letting me read it!
