Allow me to propose a “maximally cynical” prediction for how the US will handle COVID from here… The establishment is going to acknowledge vaccine failure soon, but the narrative is going to be "They are only failing because of the delta variant, and the delta variant only emerged because too many people didn't get vaxxed." There is going to be a huge push for mandatory/universal vaccination when the hot new "delta effective" vaxes drop in 4Q. Biden will sign an executive order mandating universal vaccination. They will deploy the military "for logistics and distribution."
I was skeptical of this prediction when you posted it on DSL, but I think I'm coming around.
I guess I underestimated the media's willingness to run with "pandemic of the unvaccinated" at the same time as "you're putting us all in danger".
