36% of the population has has no shots, 1 in 4 of them is 9%, 1 in 3 is 12%. Eliminates any overlap.

So we're approaching 3 in 4 people with some immunity.

I agree that there will be great variation across regions. Even if the country hits 75% with some immunity, there will be Red States that are barely at 55%.
