[quote=Anonymous]I don't think "we" are focusing on boosters, just that this is the new media narrative so it feels like the attention has moved in that direction. I think PH departments nationwide are obviously more interested in the unvaccinated. My feeling, as a political scientist (not a biologist) is that: 1) It's much harder to convince unvaccinated people to get vaccinated right now, and it will only get harder; 2) Some vaccinated people are getting worried, and starting to curtail much needed economic activity like traveling and going out to eat (unvaccinated people have no such qualms about this); 3) and, there is some evidence that vaccination does wane after time, so it won't hurt to get vaccinated people back out living their normal lives if the "cost" is a simple booster; 4) The US doesn't care that much about the rest of the world getting shots (aside from perhaps the EU or Canada), as much as some of us might think they should. It is and always will be America First, no matter who is president. I was absolutely ecstatic to get my first covid vaccine back in March and have been on the "moderate" end of the covid cautiousness scale throughout the pandemic. I will definitely not be first in line to get the booster; I think I'll let that happen naturally, like when I am in the doctor office for my next appointment, whenever that is. Or, if it becomes more clear that it's really necessary. I'm much more interested in getting my 6 year old vaccinated when that is available. [/quote]
