If it wasn't spreading, it would die out and we would have no deaths. It needs hosts to live in.

You’re not getting it, Andrew. The vaccinations are drastically reducing the impact of the virus on the population. That is what we are talking about when we refer to herd immunity.

Nobody is saying the vaccinations will make the virus disappear without trace. And nobody is claiming the vaccinations will stop you from getting infected. Indeed, if anything, far more people are infected now than previously. However, the impact is relatively minimal compared with before the vaccination programme got under way.

I think we are actually agreeing on the facts but using different language to describe it.
