There are some encouraging anecdotes that the boosters are causing some to open their eyes--particularly the buffoonish way they have gone about it. They should've started talking up the possibility of a future need for boosters from the beginning, rather than saying as recently as May that there was no need for them. They've basically gone through a little act portraying surprise and careful following of the data, but in reality, they've projected cluelessness. And announcing the boosters before the approval of vaccination for 6-11 year olds might save a few thousand of them if it makes their parents hold off.

Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this great multitude that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you. --2 Chron. 20:12
