I recently visited my hometown and caught up with an old friend of many years. They're a very intelligent person with a good memory...but they droned on about how bad the virus is, how important it was to vaccinate and how happy they were they're getting the vaccine.
His chief concern is that a number of people he knew had supposedly died from it. I checked out the alleged infection rates for where he lives versus where I live now. His are much higher in number, but only a little higher in percentage of fatalities from cases. Factoring those things and his politics into consideration, I could see why he thinks how he does.
It really is that simple to people: "It's one of those every-hundred-years viruses; and when everyone is vaccinated, we can start moving on."
