I don’t know about you all but “impending doom” is something I would reserve for the apocalypse. While I am a believer in mask wearing, and doing our best to slow the spread, this is an over the top statement.
"Although more than one in three American adults have received at least one shot and nearly one-fifth are fully vaccinated, the nation is a long way away from reaching so-called herd immunity — the tipping point that comes when spread of a virus begins to slow because so many people, estimated at 70 to 90 percent of the population, are immune to it."
OK, if 10% has had a confirmed case (by positive test) and the real number of cases is 6 to 10 times many (as the "experts" estimate) -

then if 20% of the population is fully vaccinated, and another 60+% of the population has already had it, help me with the math - even with some overlap, how is it possible
we are not at herd immunity right now?
