Well the theory is antibodies prevent the infection spreading. However with 99% of the population having antibodies from vaccines or previous infection it's fair to say it isn't working as the proponents of herd immunity previously planned.

No, that's not fair. The vaccination programme has significantly reduced pressure on the NHS. Which, of course, was the purpose of the lockdowns.
Herd immunity works, just not as perfectly as you would like.

Vaccines reduce the gravity of infection. On reflection, the term "herd immunity" was insufficiently defined and has thus been hacked to pieces to suit the interpretation of individuals.

Lockdown only delays - it does not spread.
As China is discovering, at great embarassment.
