Over the past year in the US, COVID has been a national tragedy with about 600,000 deaths. Nearly 80% of those dying were over 65. Today, there are about 100M unvaccinated under 65 and another 10M unvaccinated over 65. In the next year, another 100,000 - 150,000 American will die from COVID (nearly all off those deaths will come from the unvaccinated). As COVID becomes endemic about 50,000-75,000 will die annually because we will never get 100% of the population vaccinated. COVID is not going away.
We need to learn to live without fear and move forward because our best days are still ahead of us. Getting the vaccine is the right move, but it is still a free country and everyone should be free to choose.
Onward!
