"In Germany, an epidemic law was raised that banned people caught in the bubonic plague from contact with their fellow human beings. Those who dared to do so were usually expelled from the city and chased out."
The sick ones of course, they had no means to tell wether someone was infected or not before the one showed symptoms. In the late stage when symptoms became visible, they often were not contagious anymore. So, too late anyway.
What do you think would have happened if they knew who was contagious? Care for their "freedom"?

So you can choose:
If you vaccinate no one, a lot will die and survivors will have a short time of immunity against the first variant.
If you vaccinate all very few will die, and the virus almost exterminated since there is no breeding ground, meaning also no mutations.
If you vaccinate only some the overall effect is that the virus mutates, since it is not being exterminated and it can reproduce.
