Rapid testing is certainly sufficient to drive the spread of Covid below 1 if it was administered to every unvaccinated person daily. Not very practical or cost effective but it would work.

Rapid tests have a pretty high false negative rate plus they are time sensitive. A person with a negative test is demonstrably more likely to have COVID than a vaccinated person. And non-rapid tests are usually weeks old.
