I was worried about this... Millions Are Skipping Their Second Doses of Covid Vaccines

Even when there are solutions to help hinder this thing people just cant get out of their own way

America will be grappling with Covid for at least another 2 years

Willful stupidity. This country can’t go on like this, with half the country’s behavior controlled by stupidity, conspiracy, and malice towards authority/experts.

I read that one dose of the two dose vaccines has 80% efficacy

The J and J joint is 67% efficacy total

So millions of people with one shot is still way better than nothing

People who don't take the second dose are logically stupider than anti-vaxxers who don't even take any.

exactly. It makes no sense to get one shot without the other. But then again they're already talking about annual booster shots for the forseeable future.

How many people take the flu shot every year?

Some highlights from the article, since I see that some aren’t gonna actually read it...

The reasons vary for why people are missing their second shots. In interviews, some said they feared the side effects, which can include flulike symptoms. Others said they felt that they were sufficiently protected with a single shot.

So, yes, some folks are that stupid, but that’s not the only issue...

A number of vaccine providers have canceled second-dose appointments because they ran out of supply or didn’t have the right brand in stock.

Walgreens, one of the biggest vaccine providers, sent some people who got a first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine to get their second doses at pharmacies that only had the other vaccine on hand.

Several Walgreens customers said in interviews that they scrambled, in some cases with help from pharmacy staff, to find somewhere to get the correct second dose. Others, presumably, simply gave up.

So some of it is also systemic; the system is broken, it’s not just people being stupid.

And then here’s an important nugget for context....

While millions of people have missed their second shots, the overall rates of follow-through, with some 92 percent getting fully vaccinated, are strong by historical standards. Roughly three-quarters of adults come back for their second dose of the vaccine that protects against shingles.

Even worse is that most of you would support prison time and forced vaccinations.

Sounds like a combination of stupidity and supply/logistical issues

1 shot is better than none though I guess

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

No need to worry about having to take the second shot if you never took the first

 

[CrimsonTider]

1 shot better than no shot

this was always going to happen with a 2 shot requirement that far apart
