NY Times, Washington Post, and other media have similar stories.
This is 2 weeks old and already out of date. Numbers are in freefall. It's now at 1,357. And cases have dropped sharply and consistently for a few weeks which means the (lagging) drop in deaths will continue for a few weeks.
Not to mention people under immunosuppression or legitimately unable to get vaccinated (e.g. allergies or immunodeficient) - these poor souls are effectively locked into their homes as a permanent jail.
Why do you believe this to be true? Seems exaggerated to me.
There are people confined to wheelchairs yet we allow others to walk.
I never expected a "free democracy" to run into basic stalinist subversion of facts, but here we are.
2 years into just 2 weeks to stop the spread of information.
CNN does it constantly. The headline and first para is editorial, the remainder is reportage. Totally untrustworthy.

>The people dying from Covid-19 now tend to be younger than before, and they're overwhelmingly unvaccinated, experts say.
To be honest, I'm at the point now where the vaccine has been available for a year. Everyone who was going to get it has had it, and you're not likely to change the minds of those who won't get it. As heartless as this sounds, I'm tired of waiting for those people to come around. They are making the choice to not get it, let them live with whatever the consequences may be instead of keeping shit closed/restricted just because that group is making poor choices.
Edit: I realize that some people can't get it for various medical reasons, and I empathize with them. It's everyone else I'm referring to.
