Looking at that COVID tracker, I was surprised to learn that earlier this year, we were at 10% of the peak deaths per week. It didn't even make the news. There hasn't been any major visible effort to increase vaccines. My family and I have got our update shots, but when I mentioned getting boosters to my coworkers they all shrugged off.
Seems like there's a baseline level of death that people are just kind of ok with.
Look at flu deaths, now consider how many people you know don't get flu shots.
