The only people I know who have refused to take the shot are those that have had it before except for 1 hard core anti vax family who just doesn't trust public health given what they've done to date.

I love it!
Based on the data it won't be over.
I'm sorry that you have friends that feel that way and are playing the victim card. I suspect very few of those that aren't getting the shot believe that they are filled with computer chips and can make you magnetic, those people are idiots. Most normal people are vaccinated and living their lives as usual. They've done their part and aren't looking to scapegoat anyone else.
The straw they are clinging too is: but on the whole the vaxxed have lower viral loads than the unvaxxed even though a particular vaxxed person can have viral loads as high, maybe masks get us the rest of the way, and the boosters hopefully act like chicken pox vaccination and confer more robust long lasting immunity (even though neither Biden nor the FDA have this long term data at their disposal and are just guessing/hoping). It's straw clinging, hoping they are right, because they can't live with the reality that this might actually be endemic and some group of people will die for years to come....that would lead to despair.
That's the irony of most of the Covid policies (like education and vaccine mandates). They disproportionally impact minorities and the underprivileged. It's a shame, and incredibly ironic, that they are the real victims of the left wing's war against white privilege.
Having contempt is a waste of time. Plenty of people have good reason to not get vaxxed. The magnetic field believing people are a small minority and referencing them is foolish and not very productive.
You're so last century. Having contempt and being offended is all the rage.
Victim card?
Assuming, arguendo, that's even true (and look at the UK....that's simply not true...yeah I know you are talking about numbers in the high 90s which don't exist anywhere except in very well off, not very dense, very few children areas), full world vaccination isn't available until 2023 and people will still move around, seeding new outbreaks (since the vaccine is not full proof). Unless you plan to shut down all world travel substantially, a "fully vaccinated adult population" is an illusion itself.

As @dad4 points out, right-wing extremists resort to violence such as looting our cities and occupying Seattle and Portland while attacking the police and federal buildings. Or, maybe it's all extremists. My concern now is random acts of violence from the extremes that target specific people or entities that are seen to represent the "other" side. As tolerance for the "other" side decreases, it promotes more extremism. Our "salad bowl" culture has come to the point where the onions want the tomatoes to be onions and the tomatoes want the onions to be tomatoes.
Sadly, you appear to be in the minority.
Don't forget outrage. If you aren't outraged, you are paying attention.
