observe. Better we stop this insane argument over which U.S. demographic is ignorant or where it is or why it is, and keep an eye on the 84% unvaccinated of other earth inhabitants as time marches on. It's past time to cut the crapstorm of scorn we level against each other in the U.S.

This from the Yong piece is why:

"3. Eventually
"Pandemics end. But this one is not yet over, and especially not globally. Just 16 percent of the world’s population is fully vaccinated. Many countries, where barely 1 percent of people have received a single dose, are “in for a tough year of either lockdowns or catastrophic epidemics,” Adam Kucharski, the infectious-disease modeler, told me. The U.S. and the U.K. are further along the path to endemicity, 'but they’re not there yet, and that last slog is often the toughest,” he added. “I have limited sympathy for people who are arguing over small measures in rich countries when we have uncontrolled epidemics in large parts of the world.' ”
