U.S. Covid vaccinations slow to a trickle, mainly boosters

Primary tabs

Americans have stopped rolling up their sleeves for Covid-19 vaccinations, as data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows daily vaccinations have fallen to their lowest rate in more than a year.

The U.S. is averaging approximately 322,000 shots a day, which includes first, second and booster shots. That’s down from a peak of 3.3 million average shots in April, when vaccinations were opened up to all adults, and is the lowest level since January 2021, the vaccination effort's first month when shots were limited to health care workers, essential workers and older adults.

The urgency around vaccinations may be slowing as the omicron wave recedes, with the U.S. averaging 47,300 new cases a day, according to an NBC News tally — a level not seen since July. ...

But the slowdown comes as about 77 million Americans — 23 percent of the total U.S. population, including virtually all children under age 5 — remain unvaccinated.

Most of the shots being administered in the U.S. are boosters, which have outpaced first doses since October. But CDC data shows the booster effort is also slowing, as the country is averaging 96,000 boosters a day, down from a peak of 1.2 million in late November. Half of those eligible for the shot, about 87 million people, have yet to get a booster.

I am not surprised by the manner in which Homo sapiens are responding.  It is consistent with past historical behavior and how the neurophysiology is wired (fight, flight, freeze).

The fatigue has set in, “they” are just done and willing to go back to taking various levels of risk.

Given the work of Tversky and Kahneman e.g., Homo sapiens are predominantly irrational, one should be advised in using rational frameworks in an attempt to understand behavior of which is predominantly yet predictably irrational (Ariely)

Silly humans, out witted by a less than 2 micron pathogen, tell me again about they being a superior species as the data beg to differ, just sayen’.
