    Interesting article showing that while boosters may help protect you individually against a breakthrough infection, it won’t turn the tide of the delta surge. The only thing that will is convincing the unvaccinated to get vaccinated.

    So as I said in another thread, we are basically fucked.

      I think you seeing a pretty good uptick in vaccination rates, as younger people die. For example, we've had four local people die in this recent Delta surge, forties and under. One was in his twenties.

      That gets people's attention.

        A doc at U of F yesterday told me that ~60% of their deaths are 40s-50s and under.

        Older folks were much more keen on vaccination.
