We're likely six months out from the first vaccines in actual people. Phase IV post market studies will be ongoing by all the vaccine companies. I've not read anything indicating we need a booster, although I'm afraid we'll have some variant of this coronavirus to contend with in the future because we have Evangelical Whites and Republican males who refuse vaccines, thus allowing mutations.
I get a flu shot every year, and I'm due for my shingles vaccine and my pneumonia booster. This should not be political at all, but the former guy made it political. He was afraid of it, so he minimized it publicly to reassure himself it was harmless, knowing it wasn't. Wearing a mask is what nurses do, apparently and nurses are women, so it made him look less masculine and tough to his base.
And, now that we're finally getting vaccinated, and things are opening up, the mask holes are going to cause a ruckus when they aren't allowed in because they can't provide proof of vaccine to take cruises, board airplanes, attend concerts...
Tell the next person who won't get vaccinated you'd like to hang out at their house while you recover from covid. The cough. See how quick they back up. Unconscionable selfishness and refusal to acknowledge science. Alternative facts are lies. Their politics are wrong, and they're just shocked that we're going to call them out on their uninformed, selfish positions.
PS private companies and private businesses want this. Businesses want this. I'd wager 75% of *Americans* want this, too. Americans.
