More than a month after federal officials recommended a new version of the COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot. One expert calls the numbers “abysmal.”
i reupped but I know many have not - one guy I know has had it twice and been hospitalized both times… he never learns.
I think that part of the issue is that the virus is evolving so rapidly that it’s not a “vaccine” in the traditional sense, like the polio vaccine where you get it and you’re protected forever (or close enough). that’s how many people see vaccines - you take it and you’re “cured”, but not with rapidly evolving viral loads.

it’s frustrating but not a lot I can do about it.
