There is a grim irony in how the push to get everyone vaccinated for COVID (justified, given the data) might have lost us untold numbers of future vaccinations for even worse diseases. Which isn't to say that they shouldn't have had such a push, but... clearly, something has gone wrong in the approach. We can (should) speculate on what, beyond, "People are stupid/ideological." My intuition leads me to suspect that a part of it may be the state of the healthcare system as a whole, and in particular the corporatization of care, and lack of accessibility otherwise; the government, which has not deigned to care enough to get the system in order, suddenly wanted to get this one shot into every arm they could (but make sure CVS and Rite Aid get their kickbacks). A rational read might be that the scope of the crisis finally got gears turning (and, cynically, of course, limited physician capacity would lead eyes to Minute Clinic et al.), but there is just enough daylight - cranked open by histories like Tuskegee - for paranoia to slip in even before you consider that many vote with their emotions (and we absolutely should have considered that). Amidst MAGAmerica? Boy, I wonder if we should have seen this coming.
