Nope. I’m really dumber than a bag of hammers. I kind of feel sorry for those who are not vaccinated but have had the opportunity because they are taking a beating during this wave. I really feel sorry for all the kids who have zero control over the course of events in their life and are now finding themselves vulnerable to this variant of Covid.

You don’t need to trust the news. How about you go directly to knowledgable and expert sources. Go to the CDC website, or the FDA, or the Mayo Clinic, or Johns Hopkins medical school. Don’t trust U.S. sources? Go visit the Canadian government sites, or the McGill University Medical School website. Visit the UK government websites, or the University of Cambridge Medical School website. Visit the Republic of Ireland official websites, or the EU official websites, or the Australian websites. Visit the websites of their top medical schools. That is the beauty of the internet, you can access information from across the globe directly from experts, all from your phone.
I am vaccinated. I think the risk/reward ratio favors vaccination, BUT the decision is not the "slam dunk" some here imply.
Vaccines have been available for many, many months, and yet cases are rising globally and even in heavily vaccinated countries like Israel and England. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or the CDC to recognize that the touted benefits are not what was claimed. Vaccinated populations continue to contract, spread, and die from COVID. It should now be obvious that even if the world could miraculously vaccinate 100% of the population; we'd still have people dying. This is a flu. It mutates every year. Humans have been fighting flu pandemics since before recorded history began and will continue to do so for decades to come. The vaccines are clearly helping reduce mortality, but more than that no one can say for sure.
The vaccine is not a miracle cure for this pandemic, and trying to belittle the opposite side as "unscientific" is sad.

99+% of those hospitalized are not vaccinated. I feel for them because I bet most regret not getting the vaccine at that point.
30k? From Dec 14 2020 thru Aug 2 2021, 6490 deaths have been reported after having received a COVID vaccine. Yet it is unclear whether the vaccine is directly related to the death.

Your death count is incorrect, but you brought up my single favorite argument! So if someone dies with COVID, it’s 100% COVID and you’re a conspiracy theorist if you say otherwise. Someone dies right after vaccination, and we will never know if it’s due to the vax. The hypocrisy is astounding…
