People are angry. They see vaccine refusers as prolonging the pandemic and putting their loved ones/everyone at risk for nothing.

Given that it spreads faster amongst the unvaccinated it’s the vaccines that are prolonging it.

The entire flatten the curve narrative is about making it last as long as possible.

With deltas R value of 5 to 8 it could be over by Christmas even with vaccines and masks.

"Flattening the curve" is about not overwhleming hospital resources, to avoid non-COVID avoidable deaths spiking.

I thought it was about reducing total deaths by not overloading health care services.

Given the capacity of hospitals to treat everyone, assuming we can max them out, it takes about 40 years til everyone has it, assuming in those 40 years, there are no additional births.
They have fallen upto a media trap setup to push blame while ignoring everything else.

You hear the same in places where 90% have gotten two shots.

The vaccines don't work so well. If you want to reduce the curve you need to go out 70% less. No one wants to share that getting a vaccine was never enough. We were told just get a shot and it will kill covid you can go back to normal living. The vaccines are not that good.
