^ I have a rather unique window into what's going on with the unvaccinated, as I speak to many of them.
A good proportion of the population, perhaps 30%, are rigid in their stance and we aren't going to change their minds.
Our best hope for nationwide "community" immunity is to just allow the virus to spread through that population so that they will have immunity as well. They are digging their own grave but hey, not much more that we can do.
