Vaccine

I got my Moderna Booster shot on September 9. Some side effects on the day after but a small price to pay for the extra protection. The latest data I have seen shows 6.06 billion doses have been administered resulting in 2.54 billion people fully vaccinated. That makes 32.6%. A long way to go, especially in developing countries. In the United States, 388 million shots have given with 183 million people fully vaccinated. That makes 55.6%, which means 44.4% have not gotten vaccinated. It is highly unfortunate the subject has become politicized like almost every issue. There is no logic to support not getting vaccinated unless there is a medical contraindication. My simple explanation for the situation is poor marketing communications. As a result of this, our healthcare providers are unfairly stressed to the hilt taking care of unvaccinated Americans, and healthcare facilities are at the brink with inability to get enough employees on board. Unvaccinated Americans have died at 11 times the rate of those fully vaccinated since the delta variant became the dominant strain. Between early April and end of June,  unvaccinated people died from covid-19 at 16.6 times the rate among the fully vaccinated.
