It's becoming clear to them that the delta variant impacts younger people far more than the original virus.
Also, let me put on my tinfoil hat, this vaccine is doing very little to stop people from getting the delta virus. That 1 in 1000 breakthrough stat is complete garbage. I believe Druff has touched on this, the government surely knows this by now and is keeping quiet about it. Likely everyone is passing this shit around with the vaccinated not getting as sick. There were 50k confirmed new cases yesterday which should be alarming because we aren't doing nearly as much testing as we were last winter. The 50k number is likely far higher.
