I've finally got this all figured out. What started as "flatten the curve" has turned into vaccine mandates, flip flops, and so much hypocrisy. But here's it boiled down...the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected, but even the protected are now less protected because the protection declines. So as the protection declines, the pre-protected must get new protection again to be fully protected against both the partially protected and the unprotected who declined all protection. But nonetheless, the protection does nothing to really stop the spread, BUT, we will require people in some states to prove that they've been protected.
Yeah, I think you got it right.
