Oh, I assure, there are still people who care about the vaccines.
Most of the upper-middle class liberals I come into contact with are still very much obsessed with them. Talking about theirs and wailing about the people who won't get them. I just had a have-I-died-and-gone-to-hell? conversation the other day with a group of pod people who talked about, among other things, how they "took the chance" of getting together with extended family this summer, after everyone was vaccinated and submitted a negative covid test; the logistics of getting covid tests for teens so that they can hang out together (all the teens are vaccinated, of course); still wearing masks in all public places (one of them talked about how she is still doing that, she tried going maskless briefly in June but the situation is still just too scary!); and the horror at how there are people who "don't believe in the vaccine" at work and it's just terrifying (the person who is terrified of her unvaxxed coworkers is not only vaccinated, but she and her family already had covid and all recovered at home without incident). Oh, and they had a discussion about which types of covid tests were the most reliable in asymptomatic people. This wasn't even last year. This was last week.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Remember, these are the professional, educated members of society - they're the ones who manage things and make decisions. And my first-hand experience is that they have gone utterly insane. The lunatics are running the place.
