I’m getting it and am thrilled it is coming and only hope those that don’t get vaccinated or a booster shot are at peace with their decision if they get Covid.
The country has moved on with vaccinations and mandates popping up in enough places such that I have no reason to think about it anymore.

If you want to get this thing beat, get it into the arms of people that won’t just get minor case. There are billions of people still needing their first dose.

That stops people dying. We're not going to stop it spreading until lots of people who think they don't need it get it.

If you think you're gonna stop it from spreading, you're delusional. It's a virus. It's going to mutate. In just a few years, there will be hundreds, possibly thousands if variants. Some mild, some not. Thank the Chinese for their contribution.
We're going to have to live with it. That probably means a yearly formulation, similar to the flu shot. And it's going to be about as effective...as the flu shot.
As people become more used to living with it, normal life will return. Oh, there may be some small changes, but people will still cheer at high school basketball games, go to a music concert and take their kids to Disneyworld.

If the concern is stopping this thing before a vaccine resistant strain pops out, the risk is far greater from the billions of unvaccinated that want ITV than the 70 million or so in the US that don’t want it. A single shot in an unvaccinated person wherever they are is going to go farther m in slowing the spread and decreasing serious cases than a third shot for someone that is already going to be fairly insulated from serious COVID.
