“Universal vaccination” (constantly revoked by redefinition) is the means, not the end. Economic exclusion of the unvaccinated is progress.

Even so, I think a chart that was limited to eligible (working age) wouldn’t look as flat,

1. do you have that data in a series? happy to look at it.

2. seems like the relative relationships would all stay the same. you're just changing the denominator of everything by a fixed constant, no?

I am skeptical that data exists in the US. Even if it showed a more dramatic uptick than the all-ages, that wouldn't disprove your point - it could be that the uptick would have happened anyway, etc. It's just that I don't think a chart that includes, for example, teens who were getting vaccinated due to school requirements, is capable of describing the relevant baseline rate for Americans targeted by the work mandates.
