You are cherry picking a stat to make your point. I think someone in the Federal government once suggested our case numbers only look so bad because we test too much. That was wrong thinking then and still is. You need to look at everything. If a state like Idaho has a 25% positive or Texas at 12% they are clearly not doing enough testing and their cases per 100,000 is low compared to actual community spread.
Anything politicians get involved in becomes political.
Numbers in this article don't align with that statement. I've seen similar numbers in many sources.

Right, what I understand is that the Pfizer and Moderna have not really been tested against the Brazilian variant so it is fairly unknown how well it will work.

How the different Covid vaccines will handle new variants of the virus
Companies are working on developing vaccines so they can handle emerging variants of Covid. Here's how the approaches differ.
"The newest vaccine to gain emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration had a 72% efficacy rate for preventing moderate illness in the U.S. But in South Africa, where a highly contagious mutation of the virus is the primary variant, the effectiveness was 64% effective at preventing moderate to severe or critical Covid, according to FDA data. In Brazil, the vaccine was 66% effective.
(Experts say that it’s worth noting that Johnson & Johnson’s trials took place when the new variants had already become the dominant strains in South Africa and Brazil"
64-66% is not little effectiveness.
I’m living the perfect life
Now go get something to eatPublix is very-much hands-on for mask compliance. My son works there, and is frustrated by the fact that ONLY the store manager can say something to someone about a mask, and that's only if someone else complains. And then, the store mgr only approaches and asks/offers a mask. But if the shopper says "NO", they are allowed to carry on with their visit. It's so ineffective.

My son manages a Walgreens and they have the same policy. The police do not have the resources to respond to someone not wearing a mask, and most small stores do not have security officers. It's unfair to expect (and potentially dangerous) to have store employees confronting customers about masks. Now that people are getting vaccinated, the situation will only get worse. Of course, the vaccines will result in a much lower level of actual danger from the situation.
Key thing to note is just that. I've dealt with coronaviruses when they were not as bad as this strain. I'm cool with it becoming more of a mild cold due to vaccinations.

Here's the carrot. Hopefully this announcement will spark even more vaccine envy and overall acceptance.News from the CDC -
"People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can now spend time together indoors and unmasked, according to new Biden administration guidance.
Fully immunized Americans can also visit with low-risk individuals from other households even if they haven’t yet received a vaccine. And if vaccinated individuals are exposed to Covid-19, there’s no need to either quarantine or get tested for the disease, according to new recommendations released Monday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We know that people want to get vaccinated so they can get back to doing the things they enjoy with the people they love,” Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, said in prepared remarks. “There are some activities that fully vaccinated people can begin to resume now in the privacy of their own homes. Everyone — even those who are vaccinated — should continue with all mitigation strategies when in public settings.”
The CDC considers Americans “fully vaccinated” once two weeks have passed since they received the final dose of their vaccine regimen. In the case of vaccines developed by Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech partnership, which have been authorized for emergency use since December, that means the second of two shots. For the recently authorized Johnson & Johnson vaccine, it means two weeks after a single injection.
Roughly 10% of Americans are fully vaccinated, the CDC estimated. But the country’s ongoing vaccination campaign means that number will soon spike. The country is administering over 2 million vaccine doses per day, on average, and President Biden last week promised that the country would have enough supply to vaccinate any adult who wants a vaccine by the end of May."
CDC says fully vaccinated Americans can spend time together indoors and unmasked
Fully vaccinated Americans can spend time indoors and unmasked with each other — and with people at low risk for serious Covid-19 complications, according to new CDC guidance.
No bet, instead, I'd bet you $1000 it was already happening among most who were/are not vaccinated at all.
I'd bet you the cost of the latest COVID "relief" bill that this was happening among unvaccinated people for months!
That's good to hear. My mom called Friday crying cause her doctor said when she got her first dose no visits with unvaccinated people period. Going by these new guidelines we'd be able to visit sooner with DD12 than she assumed. Maybe just outdoor and masked if that make them less anxious.News from the CDC -
