Only 36 percent of the country's fully vaccinated population has received the booster shot. i.e., 23 percent of the country's total population got 3 shots so far (or 2 shots for those who got J&J).

Boosters were first approved on September 22, 2021 for the elderly and high risk.

They were approved for all ages 18 and over on November 19, 2021.

Without crazy mandates, how will they ever even hit 40 percent of the total population? The majority have woken up and do not believe in this scam. Unfortunately, way too many will submit after sufficient force.

Injections of the first Covid vaccines in the US began in December 2020. They are trying to get people to take the boosters every 6 months (some even suggested 3 months)! Big fail this first time around.

Approval of Boosters =/= eligibility to get a booster.

You arent eligible to get a booster until 5 months after your second dose

That means about 56%(july 2021) are currently eligible to get a booster.

So about Half of people eligible have gotten a booster.

5 months:

On August 12, 2021 = 50 percent of all Americans were fully vaxxed. On Jan 11, 2021 = 62 percent.

So 80 percent of the vaxxed are currently eligible for boosters. And all the unvaxxed are obviously not going to get boostered.

Any way you fudge the stats, this is a massive failure without drastic intervention and mandates.

No way you can convince > 40 percent of Americans to get the first 3 shots without totalitarianism.

Many people have a lot of regret after getting the first vaccine.

Several of my friends are jealous that I skipped mine entirely. They are avoiding the booster for sure.

I've noticed that they've stopped talking about it.

It was a constant ... now there is silence.

A booster every 6 months is too excessive for me. I'm willing to do it once a year like I do the flu shot, but not more often than that. I think the govt and big pharma need to temper their expectations.

ShHHHHHH

I don't want to be forced to get one.

Boosters are going to take longer than the initial vaccinations because they don't have mass vaccination sites any longer.

If the mild Omicron is the COVID of the future, yeah, I'll skip boosters.

Why get a booster for a lab created vaccine that's based upon a variant that's already two years old? And, by the time they are even able to create a new booster, it will be an old variant which may also not be around anymore. And if things keep going as they are, the next variant may even be milder than omicron.

36% is actually right in line with some early surveys and polling on the boosters. And most of those got them because they had to. Then you have the virtue signalers. And just like the first vaxx shots some are getting sick experiencing adverse affects and said they're done for ever.
