    I’m very concerned that we won’t reach herd immunity in the US because of vaccine complacency—not anti-vax people but those who need to be incentivized & see what’s in it for them. We need to clearly message vaccination = ticket to pre-pandemic life.pic.twitter.com/9tXw9C3bP0

        Apparently, * doing the right thing and, * getting back to pre-pandemic life as soon as we safely can, is not enough for some people.

        I am a person who has horrible reactions to meds. Even something like Ultram gives me terrible side effects. I was terrified of the mRNA vaccines, but I got one (Pfizer). My second one is tomorrow. If *I* can take it and live to tell the tale, anyone can. Just do it.

        Well, the messaging has been that the vaccine prevents hospitalizations and death. That implies it doesn’t do anything else and a ton of people think Covid is only a danger if you’re old and we’re all going to get it anyway so why bother with a vaccine

        Yep! No airplanes, no hotels, no sporting events, no concerts, etc. without a vaccine.

        Completely agree with you. There should be ads with pictures of airports, beaches, restaurants, bars, gatherings, baseball games, etc to the effect of “Miss this? Want it back? Get vaccinated 💉to get back to life”.

        OMG Let's have incentives kick in **AFTER** all those who want to be vaxxed (hint 70% of American adults) are indeed vaxxed. What is the damn rush??

        How about making it easier to get vaccinated. The systems to schedule an appointment are horrendous. It’s like trying to win the lottery to get an appointment. These rules and age limits are only slowing down the process.
