There seems to be people who are convinced getting infected is some sort of heroic effort, and vaccines are for the weak? I increasingly suspect this may be driven in some by fear of needles, which is exactly why letting people know this is a common condition is important.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468628813710041091 …

Boosters will definitely reduce the risk, and many vaccines are three-dose primary series. Likely this one is too. Maybe there will be annual boosters, like flu. Still, avoiding vaccination isn't like storming the beach at Normandy. Why is it valorized?https://twitter.com/LGFi0rnkELg0KDn/status/1468630674856890374 …

Because the pandemic isn't over, and we now have yet another variant. Resisting the ways to end the pandemic is big part of the problem. Again, avoiding vaccines isn't some heroic act. https://twitter.com/GeordieStory/status/1468631651982794756?s=20 …

Replying to @zeynep
Zeynep, there will ALWAYS be new variants. The virus will always circulate, and there is going to be *unlimited* opportunities for mutation. The goal can not be to stop the inevitable from happening. That will only cause unnecessary harm.

Pandemics do end, and the deaths aren't inevitable if we can vaccinate more widely.
