It's coming back thanks to those vaccine mandates that were brought in.

Nah, it's because the US is full of whiny babies who don't want to recognize other people's authority and expertise over their whims, and rather have disease and mass murders than let other people say to them there is a better course of action.

This is not a US-only problem.

This is mainly US problem

No, but the attitude where the opinion of ignoramuses should be sacrosanct and considered over the opinion of experts and authorities is mainly USian.

Hell, USians invented the idiotic notion of "sovereign citizen", which is predicated in the insane importance they assign to their own opinions and the notion that their beliefs override reality.
