At the end of the day this virus will demonstrate the survival of the fittest not only health wise but who gets vaccinated and who does not.
I can't agree with the "lots of vaccinated people". In the US it is 50% FULLY vaccinated people. The good part is that because of FEAR people are waking up and getting vaccinated. The BAD part is that many southern US states are about 30%. The REALLY BAD part is that we needed to be at 85% like Connecticut and some European countries - and we needed it that high by about May in order for the US to have repelled the Delta variant. Children's DEATHS are spiking upwards and some hospitals are FULL of CV patients. Unless you can rewind the clock to April and hypnotize the unvaccinated into accepting REALITY, we are at a REALLY BAD time with respect to CV. And hoarding will make everything worse!
