You can see the same trends emerging on the maps on the NYT vaccine page: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine...

If you scroll to the map with state-level data, you can see it has started to resemble the electoral college map. Having checked it out nearly everyday for months now, that resemblance is only growing stronger as time goes on.

At a certain point, there may need to be some designation given to certain states or counties - something like a travel advisory - so people know if an area has or is likely to have a COVID outbreak due to low vaccination levels.

Travel advisories may not be sufficient. At some point we may need the federal government to round up individuals who refused to get vaccines and put them in remedial education camps. These camps could be taxpayer neutral through a mandatory daily forced labor quota for each resident. Due to the potential for virulent "super spreaders" among the populations, residents must be kept in solitary confinement for their own safety. The overarching goal here would be rehabilitation, and we could give it a catchy name like "Ministry of Truth."

A CDC website noting areas with high chances of COVID outbreaks would be sufficient. The vaccines aren't 100% effective, so if you're in a high risk group you'd likely want to know which areas of the country to avoid.

But how would a website help high-risk individuals to know which unvaccinated individuals to avoid? Another idea could be mandatory tattoos for science deniers - the tattoos would have to be on a conspicuous place like the hand or forehead and visible from a safe enough distance to give people time to put on extra masks. This could be more "humane" than putting them in solitary confinement, but it's more likely to incur a taxpayer expense.
