Delta is 4-10 times more infectious so now 85-95%% of the population needs antibodies for herd Immunity.

Delta added a lot of natural immunity to the population. Maybe we are close given how rapidly infection/hospitalizations are dropping.

Thanks mostly to those with enough courage to take some risk and be Vaccinated.

The unvacinated should be thankful for those who took the shot rather than reiterate ignorant and intentionally obtuse misinformation and conspiracy theories.
