    I see things like Mennonites getting blamed, and even if they are 100% unvaccinated, it seems like they would not really be a factor if vaccination rates were kept up for the general pop?

    I think even that population would be given some protection if nearly 100% of the general population were to be vaccinated, no?

      In principle, yes, but isolated unvaccinated communities can still have major incidents just from one contact. E.g. Germany is at around 97% and a couple weeks ago there was a small outbreak involving a bunch of unvaccinated children.
