I’m more likely to root for a country that isn’t seeking to supplement vaccination with a few million infections in a herd immunity dice roll to be fair.

Plenty of countries have low vaccination rates in the absence of unlimited vaccinations. The question is whether any country can make their position sustainable between now and then. New Zealand appear on a much more solid footing that other countries in that respect.
