Ok, spread was inevitable within the context of existing Western countries without a radical turn in the cultural mentality. It has little to with the vaxx either way though - to your main point, it isn't anti vaxx movements that resulted in the spread since they a) don't significantly prevent the spread b) highly vaccinated Western societies (or areas of the US) are not fairing significantly better in infection rates. All the vaccine is really doing is giving better outcomes in vulnerable people. Which is good but it's not making the point you're making.

It does that, while not ripping through an entire population and killing off a significant number of people in addition to making it more difficult to produce new variants.

This is the same explanation for why previous diseases have been eradicated or contained through vaccination. In fact, antivax are making it impossible for us to actually escape this cycle because they enable this chain to continue. Couple this with their deliberate behavior to refuse to mask up, or quarantine, and the anger against them becomes more justified.

The virus isn't a significant threat to Western demographics, perhaps there's some tortured analogy between racial attitudes and the virus response but I don't think it's of much importance. The viruses importance either way has been significantly overblown. I just ignore most of the right wing fetishization of it, the same as I ignore the liberal paranoia and propaganda for a virus that isn't especially dangerous to most people.

I apologize, it wasn't my attention to literally imply Covid is wiping race away. I was referring to the fact that when a nation is homogenous and racially unified, then they are much better equipped at enforcing restrictions and having communal respect in order to reduce the spread or damage of a virus.

I think most people on Earth understand that Covid is not a 1-hit KO toxic substance, like how radiation from atomic bombs are. Perhaps only the extreme fringe on the Left see it that way.

BUT, it's still been demonstrated everywhere that having at least 1 sick person inside a crowded school, airplane or meat processing plant is enough to get it closed down for being a health violation. And as we move onto year 2 or 3 of the pandemic, having to repeat this every... single... day... is starting to kill of a lot of jobs. For example, look at Tourism? Without vaccination, how on Earth can that industry continue to operate when outbreaks can take out a single cruise ship? People need to start thinking about the future of the world or else, prepare to make even bigger sacrifices when the time is too late to stop it.
