You can't get herd immunity from vaccination with a virus like corona. This was known from the beginning. It mutates too fast. You end up training your immune system for an extinct variant and it responds poorly when presented with the latest variant. Herd immunity works great for measles and polio, the binding mechanism really doesn't survive mutations well for these virus.

And ethically, you are proposing these walled societies where children risk their health with poorly tested treatments to save the older generation? I find that abhorrent.
