I strongly suspect people refusing to get the vaccine to own Big Pharma aren't owning Big Pharma as much as they think. It's like the guy who picked up deer poop to spell out LGB.[/quote]

That was me.

However, given that persistent vaccine refusers are some 20-30 million people, public health planning has to account for that. Given that many of them are more MAGA than Trump Himself (the booing when Trump waded into encouraging folks to get the vaccine), I'm not sure that celebrity endorsements will work here.

Also, let's face it, we'd be facing a bad healthcare season based solely on older vaccinated/boosted folks who're still getting COVID. Some focus now has to be on testing - to allow normal life to continue as easily as possible, and on treatment courses for those who do come down with the virus. Presumably we can do this without letting the vaccine giving machinery rust in place, since who knows if 3x boosted folks will be needing another booster in 1-5-10 years. This will cost money, but so what? It costs more money when we get caught flatfooted. [/quote]
