Your guess is as good as mine as to where that optimal level is.
Even if hardly anyone in the UK had it, people would still want a vaccine. Ask people in a country like SKO or GER whether they'd take a CV vaccine that worked, and I bet you 99.99% would say yes. You don't have to kill half your population to make them realise there's a global pandemic going on. Moreover, every one of the people that dies not only can't buy your vax, they can't buy all the other drugs you've been selling them into their old age.
