Re: NYTimes.com: Reaching ‘Herd Immunity ’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe

"A better approach would be for a trusted figure to address the root cause
of the hesitancy — fear, mistrust, misconceptions,
ease of access or a desire for more information, said Mary Politi".  Think
we can get Donald Trump to take the vaccine on national television?

I hope that, at some point, when all Americans who want a vaccine have got
the vaccine, the extra vaccines are, at least, sent to other countries
where they can be used.  The conservatives would have nothing to say about
this "foreign aid" since they themselves are ones refusing the shots.

The story of this pandemic is nothing like the movie "Contagion".  That
movie was way too hopeful.
