How close to zero do you need??
So it’s growing. It’s gonna take a lot of growing before it’s a significant number.
It’s GOT to burn through the unvaccinated population before it dies down. You can’t force those people to get vaccinated or you’re going to have a much larger problem than COVID-19 on your hands. The American people will not be tolerant of that.
CDC recently updated estimated infection fatality rates for COVID. Here are the updated survival rates by age group:
0-19: 99.997%
20-49: 99.98%
50-69: 99.5%
70+: 94.6%
I’m not going to live in fear. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Let the unvaccinated make their choice.
If you’re vaccinated you have nothing to fear, but fear itself!
Hey! I’ve heard that somewhere before! 😎

Vaccine mandates eradicated smallpox. Americans DID put up with it then. What's changed?
The mindset of people who CAN vaccinate, refusing to vaccinate is foreign to me. That, to me, is the mindset of some unaware creature who is not self-realized, who doesn't understand its place in the world, that is not a sentient being at all. The one who says "we don't know if it's safe" is the one who lives under a rock and really should just stay under that rock until the vaccine blows over, to keep them from causing harm to anyone else.
The ones who say "well YOU are vaccinated, so I don't have to be" are the ones that annoy me the worst. They will rant and rave and rail against "socialism" but demand that everyone else keep them safe, as an entitlement, so they don't have to take pro-active measures to keep themselves safe. And of course they aren't required to help keep anyone else safe.
The only people who should not WANT to vaccinate, are people who are not eligible to vaccinate. Medically unable to handle it, and kids under 12. Everyone else should be lining up and eagerly taking the "jab," as the anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists call it.
