I wondering about this upcoming mass once vax campaign. Like the author, I cannot conceive it will be powered by anything introduced this far. There is simply no health concern motivation stronger than the wuhan strain of covid. That is obviously (?) off the table. The simple fact is, we live in a world where covax uptake under pretty extreme duress was 60-90% among adults with rapidly dwindling results in younger ages. We did not want it, we still do mot want it. I think assuming it will not be flu is an error ... the public is well conditioned to mindless dosing of flu vaccine. Flu vax is even on many vax schedules for attending public school. A perilous flu strain just might do the trick? The channels for rejiggering and quickly manufacturing flu vax are all in place. “It’s just your annual flu vax” is already ringing in my ears.
We will see ... it is getting a bit late for this fall, it is September without a word of anything new and dire ... perhaps we will wait a bit?
My GP office was really (overly) interested in my attitude toward the flu shot this visit. No mention of the covid shot. I agree, a lot of the hesitancy started because mRNA was brand new and untested, whereas many would have seen flu shots as normal. No longer, though. Many more are awake regarding all shots now. Come and get me Billy.
Makes one wonder if the reprieve may be even longer...for more forgetting? Of course none of us will EVER forget or TRUST again....Ebola outbreak but don’t worry we have a vaxx for that? “Nah I’m good thanks”

I don't think so, they have to keep up the momentum of pulses of public fear.
