The logic behind the arguments that you have developed certainly makes sense, but in Japan there is a deep seated skepticism of the particular vaccines for the coronavirus and vaccines in general. The healthcare professionals with whom I have discussed this matter are all concerned about the long term effects of taking the vaccine from Pfizer, which is still the only type available in Japan. As a permanent resident of the country, I have a personal, vested interest to become vaccinated as soon as possible, but, like the rest of the general public, I just need to be patient and wait my turn. Also, I suspect that the Olympics will be conducted without fans in which case I will be expecting a refund for the beach volleyball tickets that my wife and purchased two years ago after winning the lottery to become eligible to buy tickets.
