Or: do we have a better alternative now? --- I agree that reality is different, and sometimes a theory does not prove to be false, but incomplete. This is what I think applies to the discussion about vaccines etc: If we don't (and can't for obvious reasons) know the long term effects on mass vaccination in a global pandemic, since we never had this particular situation, we have to take the least harmful option. Or in other words: the most likely or less unlikely. This means also we might know better later... (And in this case we know already that vaccination alone is not enough, but no vaccination at all is worse ;-)
