As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations creep up during a summer wave of heightened virus activity, updated vaccines are still likely weeks away.

Why it matters:

  • Americans have largely tuned out COVID, but the latest COVID uptick is a reminder that the virus continues to circulate and mutate — though the threat is far below pandemic-era levels.
  • Health officials face a challenge convincing a pandemic-fatigued public to get an updated COVID shot, as vaccine uptake has declined with each successive booster.

Bold of you to assume everyone will accept the reality

Antivaxxers have literally been saying "itS nO worse tHaN the FLu!!" since day 1. If anything, they should be even more receptive to the idea.

You know they constantly move the goalposts.

There is no point in catering to crazy people.
