What you're suggesting basically comes down to mitigation, which we've been having a lot of issues with.

I think what we actually need is a solution, so there's nothing left to mitigate. Imo mandatory vaccinations might be just that.

The vaccine isn't efficient enough. Look at Gibraltar: 99% are vaccinated and they're still cancelling Christmas celebrations.
Vaccination isn't a binary state. Protection wanes over time. I don't know where to get the data, but I'd guess that most people in Gibraltar have been vaccinated quite a while ago.

Maybe we need tighter schedules, i.e. one shot every two months? With delta, i think that's when effectiveness starts to wane.

Gibraltar is having a case surge, but they are having almost no deaths [1].
