Mr. Scram:
The long story short is that people need to calm the fuck down, stop endlessly rewatching and rehashing the same shit and take some sensible precautions. Maybe turn off the tv for a bit and do some sowing.

Please quote numbers and sources. Gloomy prophecies aren't helpful.

How about doing some electronics?  :D

I've been experimenting with exporting waveforms sampled by an oscilloscope, and using them as input to an LTSpice simulation.  Works surprisingly well!

As you're talking about the US, don't forget the people who can't get it for free but can't afford it - typical price in the US if you have to pay yourself $40. Multiply that by number of family members and that's a big chunk of cash for some people. So it's not just people who are "too lazy to get vaccinated and others who actively refuse to be vaccinated" as you characterise it.
