Agreed that this is the counter-argument, if you think that 87% wouldn’t be enough to allow changes in behavior—which of course can also be an advantage, since now you really did reduce that person’s risk by 87%, and the risk of them infecting others too.
Note that when I ask, for myself, whether 87% now (with 96% coming in 4-6 months) would be enough for me to un-quarantine, I get a strong yes. I would still not take ‘stupid’ risks but would mostly e.g. see friends freely.
