Overall gist of it is simple: everyone is going to get Covid-19 at some point -- the vaccine can't stop you from getting infected, but it will help prevent hospitalizations or getting sick enough to ruin your day.
There's another point, which is that stigma never helps. It didn't help with HIV, it doesn't help with COVID.
I don't think that it's inevitable. I can see a 50% population attack rate, but that is still a 50/50 chance of not having it.
Stigma over getting a disease is unhelpful.
Stigma over not getting vaccinated is different I think.
