Early this AM, I sat and watched fifteen minutes of news via N-24 (commercial news here in Germany). The hype? Well....two million doses of Covid vaccine got turned in. Various German states (sixteen of them total)....have said they've peaked out and expiration is approaching.
That's a fair number of doses.
How close are we from the peak? I'd say it's fast approaching, or we might have hit it already in late July. The odds of passing 70-percent of the population? I'd now give it less than 20-percent odds.
Was the sales pitch crapped-out? I would say they ran into three key issues.
First, back when the vaccine business got introduced right at Christmas......they should have held back six weeks, and had a huge supply on hand for February and March.....skipping the slower-pace vaccination deal for the seventy-and-older crowd. With the hype, they should have maxed the 'I-want-it' feeling.
Second, they should have been direct in policy....saying if you fully vaccinate....you get total entry to everything (vacations, concerts, pubs, discos, etc).
Third, the German anti-AstraZeneca campaign that brought up thrombosis and heart inflammation? The more it got brought up....the more it lessen public 'good-feelings'.....not just for AstraZeneca, but almost all of the vaccine choices.
So if it maxes out at around 65 percent? Is this a big deal? All that hype from mid-2020 was about herd-immunity, and it centered on two-thirds of the nation giving you this wonderful health benefit. I'd say that the poker came is reaching a conclusion, and whatever 'money' you won....you ought to be happy with and just walk out feeling good.
