There are two possible exit strategies.

- Vaccinate everyone who can be vaccinated, at gunpoint.

- Allow everyone who is vulnerable to die, at which point the death rates will drop.

Choose. Which one do you want?

You can't produce, distribute and vaccinate everyone at gun point fast enough before it mutates away from what your vax targeted. And this strategy ignores animal reservoirs where the virus can reside and come back.

In the US, this is a very bad idea, indeed.
