The COVID-19 curve in the U.S. is rising again after months of decline, with the number of new cases per day doubling over the past three weeks, driven by the fast-spreading delta variant, lagging vaccination rates and Fourth of July gatherings.
So in addition to everything you said, this whole "the delta variant only kills unvaccinated people" plays right into the "personal responsibility" / Protestant work ethic BS thing that Americans embrace, liberals and chuds alike. This idea that you are 100% responsible for every outcome in your life, and any bad choices you make are your fault and you are entitled to ZERO help or understanding from other people and certainly from the government. Social context, extenuating circumstances, systematic issues... they're all irrelevant in the face of "muh personal responsibility!"
