The point is as long as the restrictions are in place--and actually NOW they are getting MORE restrictive--it doesn't matter if we are sticking needles in 1 person, 500k, or 1 million a day. People aren't going to book a trip if they need to take multiple tests and quarantine after their trip. Biden even said it's going to get worse before it gets better (I take him at his word that the government will make sure things get worse), so buckle up buttercup. If you think needles in arms means we are back to normal in 2021 you are delusional.
And to your point again, it does matter DOWN THE LINE if we stick needles in 1 person, 500k, or 1 million a day. It gives a timeline of when herd immunity can POSSIBLY be reached (I say possibly because I can't tell what can happen in the future with different variants).
herd immunity= cases drop = growth in customer's confidence = more folks will travel (assuming restrictions will be lifted due to case drops)
Now if you want to "oh the government will think of others things to keep us on lockdown, you're a [insert insulting word of choice] for thinking its just about covid" or anything of that sort then you or anyone can go down that rat's nest of conspiracy by yourself. I'm merely talking about needling stabbing and how it would logically play out for our industry.
