Please elaborate on how an unvaccinated individual poses a deadly risk to a hundred thousand vaccinated strangers.

But to address your criticism you've written between the lines, the vaccinated might not die, but they're still at risk for long term complications, were they to contract COVID. And ultimately, the longer this lasts, the more strains will appear, some of which might indeed prove adequate to kill the vaccinated.
A thorough campaign of vaccination, on the other hand, would put an end to this disease, just as vaccination put an end to measles, polio, whooping cough, mumps, etc. etc.

How many strains did we see of each of the above within the first 18 months of existence?
Cherry picking. There is plenty of contra evidence to suggest that vaccination is extremely effective at keeping people from getting very ill.
> It is now a seasonal disease with us to stay
Agreed, though it's clearly not seasonal (a surge in summer?). Unless a particularly lethal variant comes along and whittles down the antivaxxer population significantly.
This does not in itself suggest anything about transmissibility, which is what GP is referring to.
