It’s all about perception. I’ll bet that if the vaccine was for say Ebola and only 70% effective, there would be a 100% of the population queued up for a week in the blazing sun to get a jab. After all, 70% effective is still pretty good odds.
But for Covid? I sense a lot of pushback against getting vaccinated from otherwise sensible people. Clearly, they don’t believe it’s as “deadly” as has the mass hysteria would have it. And even more curious, this same cohort is more than happy with border closures and lockdowns and the loss of civil liberties to save their precious lives. Go figure.
When the time comes, it will be interesting to see just how many of my broader circle will actually volunteer to get the jab. I know that I will.
