'Another wave' is hitting right now in Canada. 50% of Republicans are wary of taking the vaccine. (Edit: that was Sep. 20' data. The partisan imbalance is now less with 56% of Republicans more or less opting in, notably, African Americans, theoretically 'most at risk' (we don' know exactly why) have the most hesitancy by race with only 61% planning to take it. [1]) Surprising number of elderly are not taking the vaccine, for a variety of reasons - access to information, travel, knowledge, language. (Edit: more than 25% of age >80 in Ontario have been eligible and have not taken the vaccine. That's a 'very high number' for those most at risk. Toronto is now having mobile vans go door to door, esp. where there are high concentrations of elderly) [2] For the same reason not everyone votes - a lot of people won't end up taking it. I think the risk is that if there are 'no protocols' in place and we have the new more aggressive versions and lower rates of vaccination than we think ... And we could definitely have another wave during the summer. I believe the next few months will be fickle we should keep our guard up until 'done is done'.
