Because of disparity between states and the large number of anti-vaxxers, We probably will never reach herd immunity which means that Covid-19 will become endemic and everyone will eventually catch it. With the mutations and winding down immunity it is likely to stay with us.
So, getting a vaccine significantly reduces the risks of death and and getting exposed to the virus naturally will be our immune booster.
That’s why I’m quite relaxed now, I expect to get infected at some point. Maybe not today but in few months when the vaccine induced antibodies can no longer prevent the infection.

All of us can expect to be exposed eventually. https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-made-herd-immunity-not-possible-astrazeneca-developer-2021-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-made-herd-immu...
