It's early, but eventually, I think we will need to have real talk about third shot denialist before all is said and done.
There are a lot of people (some of whom I respect), who got their first/second shot, but suggest that the 3rd shot is a non-starter because:
...Both of those can be true and science can show that immunity wanes after 6-8 months.
The one constant about Covid 19 is that the facts are constantly evolving. This idea that 'because science didn't get a perfect vax from the start, I refuse to get vaxxed again moving forward' clearly shows a misunderstanding of science/risk.
I hear people grumbling about it already, although technically, I don't see it becoming an issue until Spring 2022, because that is the 8 month period for the people that dragged their feet on the first shot. I'm sure the early adopters won't be as adamant against it OTOH.

- They view it as a sign that it's something they'll have to take yearly
- They view it as a sign that drug companies are in it for the money

Then again, perhaps all of the hesitancy around a 3rd shot will dissipate when more and more 'vax-elapsed' people starting getting really sick.
get boosted up with another Pfizer for the winter months
