We've been told once we hit a certain number of vaccinations we'll have herd immunity. But that number has moved all over the place. And even if we had a concrete number, we're talking about millions of people. Kind of how "every vote matters", every vaccination matters. But just like many people don't vote as they don't see their single vote making a difference, many people are going to refuse the vaccination because they don't see their single vaccination mattering. Especially when even the vaccinated are expected to be wearing masks again.
My opinion is we know who is in danger of spreading the virus; the unvaccinated. We know who runs the biggest risk of hospitalization or death; the unvaccinated. I'm to the point in all this nonsense where I would like to see a harder stance taken on those who refuse the vaccine. I didn't have this mindset 6 months ago. But why should I suffer because people refuse the vaccine? Why should my kids school suck with little sense of normalcy because people refuse the vaccine?
Vaccinations are a personal choice. No doubt. But in my perfect world (that will never happen) I'd like that choice to come with rewards and consequences. Want to go to the game? Gotta be vaccinated. Want to come in my bar? Vaccinated. Want to fly on vacation? Vaccinated. Want to go to college? Vaccinated. Concerts? Vaccinated.
This thing isn't going away. But why keep punishing good people, kids and businesses to protect those that are fine taking their own risks? It doesn't make sense to me.

Great post!
I’ve reached this point, too. At this time it isn’t the federal/state/county/municipal governments that are limiting what we can and can’t do. It’s the unvaccinated that are holding us back.
Vaccinations have been available for six months. There have been over 330,000,000 doses given. It’s safe and FREE.
Paradoxically, I will be joining the anti-maskers if masks become mandated again in Idaho. Those same f###[#] that wouldn’t wear masks last year are the same people that won’t get vaccinated this year. What would lead one to believe those same idiots would suddenly mask up now?
I echo the comments from many of you above. I’m so done with this shit. Let’s allow Darwinism to run its course.
Exactly. We’re putting too much emphasis on trying to vaccinate people unwilling to get vaccinated. Why should our lives be impacted negatively because of idiots like these guys?
