If "1/5 positive Covid tests are from vaccinated people," that would mean 4/5 are from unvaccinated people. Get them vaccinated and we potentially lower the rate of positives by 80 percent. Not to mention also dramatically lowering hospitalizations and deaths. I favor testing, absolutely, but not as a substitute for vaccination.

And I do have a problem with extra tax money being spent to placate people who continue to put the rest of us at risk, especially since the unvaccinated are already soaking up billions in health care dollars at the expense of the rest of us.

These mandates should have been imposed months ago. Instead, we were told to "give it time" to allow the "vaccine hesitant" to come to their senses and do the right thing. What has happened instead is that many of them have doubled down on their nonsense, while additional tens of thousands suffer and die.
