Now, 14 months later, we find the CDC and Fauci way behind the curve with their rules and mandates. Almost 55% vaccinated not counting those who have immunity from getting Covid. Yesterday TSA screened the highest number of air travelers since 14 months ago.

Yes, there are pockets where, I'll be blunt, Darwin's children refuse to get the shot but in general I believe we are over the hump and ready for normalcy whether the CDC says so or not. We have had enough of bureaucratic overreach.
Why do we blame the bureaucracy when we voted them in and we don't take the time to contemplate what is wrong with our system. For example, in Australia, everyone votes or they get a fine. Start with that! Too many are ethnocentric and assume that the US is PERFECT!
