    I don’t know what percentage of people got vaccinated last time, but i feel like next time, it’s not even gonna be a third of that.

      This is probably true if the hypothetical vaccines are as effective as the first generation. If they have the kind of effectiveness that prevents infection and that immunity doesn’t fade, I think the response will change. The value proposition changes completely. It goes from - vaccinate so that you don’t get too sick, but you still get sick and you’ll need another shot in 6 months, to - vaccinate so you don’t have to ever think about getting sick from this.
